I had some Angels Envy in the Carribean cask... Most delicious sipping whiskey I've had. Is there anything cheaper that is comparable? It's like 95 a bottle.

That’s just the standard rye, correct? I personally found it too sweet, but 95 sounds high

Yeah, that’s just the regular rye. Pretty sure I can find it just about anywhere cheaper than that in New Orleans area. Where are you?

I think you're thinking of a different one. Standard Angels Envy is 50 on that site.

Nope, the standard is just a bourbon the one you’re talking about is a rye

You're right. I was thinking of something around the 30 - 40 mark though.

I liked the Angels Envy Rye because it had a maple and banana like note to it.

I’ve never been wrong in my life. I’ll check and see how much it is next time I see it. Pretty sure it’s cheaper than that, but I also know it’s not always in stock

All i have ever seen is the 4. I logged onto Willet back around father's day when they put 15 on sale. I had it in the cart but i really didn't want to explain to the wife what the $785 charge was on our amex and why i was taking a day off of work to drive to Kentucky (only in person pick up from the distillery)

I was in Lincoln Road last week, they had a number of higher-end Willets. I think a number of them were store picks but the prices were high also...

Probably my favorite rye. I like to drink it straight on the rocks. Price point is a little high, but since I don't always see it I'll scoop up a bottle when I do.
