Fans of high-proof whiskeys will be excited to hear about the news coming out of Angel’s Envy. That’s because the beloved brand has announced the debut of its 2026 Cask Strength Dual Release, which will feature Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon as well as the brand’s first age-stated rye whiskey: Angel’s Envy 10-Year Cask Strength Rye.
Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon
These limited-edition releases are some of the most highly anticipated of the year. The Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon is bottled at 117.8-proof and features a Solera-inspired aging process. This year’s expression is a blend of Angel’s Envy’s longest maturing Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, which is then double matured before finishing for an added 3 years in Ruby Port casks.
“This year’s Cask Strength Bourbon represents the next chapter in our Solera journey,” Owen Martin, Master Distiller at Angel’s Envy, says.
“Since each release builds on the one before it, we’re able to create a bourbon with real depth and continuity; something that evolves rather than resets. The extended finishing in Ruby Port barrels enhances both structure and richness, resulting in a bold, layered expression that’s powerful, polished, and distinctly Angel’s Envy.”
Angel’s Envy 10-Year Cask Strength Rye is the first age-stated cask strength rye whiskey ever introduced by the brand. This 111.6-proof whiskey began as straight rye distilled in 2013 and 2015, which was matured in new, charred American oak barrels before being double-aged for up to 4 years in casks that previously held Caribbean rum.
“Since launching our first Cask Strength Rye in 2023, we’ve consistently heard from consumers eager for its return,” Martin says.
“With the 10-Year Cask Strength Rye, we wanted to take that enthusiasm further by introducing an age statement. Aged in both oak and Caribbean rum barrels for a combined ten years, this whiskey wasn’t made to meet a deadline; it was made to exceed expectations, reflecting the time, intention, and evolution behind every detail while staying true to our finishing-forward philosophy.”
