Angel’s Envy Ice Cider Cask Finished

The new Angel’s Envy Rye Whiskey Finished in Ice Cider Casks, according to those behind it, takes the distillery’s rye whiskey (seven years old, 95% rye mash bill) and finishes it for 364 days in French oak casks used by Eden Specialty Ciders to create an ice cider from tart, late-season Northern Spy apples that had been naturally cold-concentrated in Vermont before partial fermentation and aging. Ice cider, for those that don’t know of it, is a style of dessert-style cider that is produced primarily in the northern US and Canada.
