Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bourbon

Angel's Envy releases the next chapter in its annual Cask Strength Bourbon series, a Kentucky bourbon finished in ruby Port barrels. This release exemplifies the distillery's philosophy of treating finishing as the defining step rather than a final addition. Using a solera system, Angel's Envy builds continuity and depth into each release, creating a whisky that evolves rather than resets.

This 100-proof (50% ABV) expression comes in a 700ml bottle and showcases the extended finishing in ruby Port barrels. Master distiller Owen Martin notes that this approach enhances both structure and richness, resulting in a bold, layered expression that's powerful and polished. The solera system ensures each batch builds on previous releases, delivering genuine depth and continuity.

Tasting Notes

The nose reveals deep layers of caramel, vanilla bean, brown sugar, and hints of cracked pepper and cinnamon. On the palate, warm notes of baked apple, toasted oak, and subtle leather emerge. The finish is long and balanced, making this a distinctly complex bourbon for enthusiasts seeking serious flavor.

Retailing at approximately €232.50, this cask strength release is ideal for bourbon collectors and experienced drinkers who appreciate nuanced, high-proof expressions crafted with meticulous attention to detail.
