Angel’s Envy Peated Rye Review + Legacy Series Comparison | Whiskey News + Holiday Kickoff

After a long break behind the mic, we’re back — and kicking off the holiday season with a deep dive into one of the most interesting bottles I’ve had on my shelf: the Angel’s Envy distillery-only rye finished in peated Scotch casks.

In today’s episode, I break down this unique release with full nose, palate, and finish notes, and compare it side-by-side with our own McTavish Spirits Legacy Series 1. Two similar approaches to peat influence — but two totally different drinking experiences.

We also talk about the shift from spooky season into the holidays and why this time of year always feels like “whiskey season.”

Also in this episode:
• The biggest whiskey headlines from the past 10 days
• Blade & Bow drops a 30-year bourbon
• Sazerac adds a full-proof rye to their permanent lineup
• Best in class whiskey winners from Top Shelf 2025
& more behind-the-scenes whiskey talk
