Angel's Envy Cellar Collection Volume 5 is a limited-edition Kentucky straight rye whiskey from Louisville, Kentucky, representing the fifth annual release in Angel's Envy's prestigious Cellar Collection series. Each volume in this series showcases a unique cask finishing approach, and this fifth installment was finished in extra añejo tequila barrels sourced from Patrón, crafted from French oak. The rye whiskey is a blend of MGP-sourced straight rye aged 7 to 11-plus years before the secondary finish.

Bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV), this expression delivers a bold and complex profile. The nose opens with fresh herbs, cracked black pepper, and bright jalapeño heat, which give way to warming notes of brown butter, pastry cream, and vanilla pudding on the palate. The finish is long and creamy with hints of Mexican chocolate and lingering spice. Previous volumes in the Cellar Collection explored port wine, sherry, Madeira, and ice cider cask finishes, making Volume 5's tequila barrel influence a bold departure that highlights Angel's Envy's commitment to innovative cask experimentation.
