Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bourbon

Limit of one per Household

Angel’s Envy was the brainchild of Master Distiller, Lincoln Henderson. In 2011, he came out of retirement to start the brand with his son Wes. The concept was a simple one, but one that goes against hundreds of years of traditional Bourbon distilling: finishing Bourbon in Port or Rum casks instead of (only) new American oak casks.

To Scotch enthusiasts, this won’t seem like a big deal at all, but to Bourbon purists, it was heresy. Bourbon, by definition, has to be matured in new charred oak casks, so the idea of adding another cask to the process was considered sacrilege by some Bourbon fans.

The 11th Cask Strength release comes from a handful of the most distinctive barrels in the Angel's Envy rickhouse. These exceptional casks are aged for up to 14 additional months in port wine casks to create Angel Envy's most popular and critically acclaimed expression.

Producer's Tasting Notes

Nose: Begins with hints of leather, brown sugar and caramel, followed by crème brûlée, marshmallow, green apple and citrus orange.

Palate: Apples, caramel, and brown sugar. The creaminess pairs with orange from the nose, creating a dessert-like richness. Vanilla, toasted oak and black pepper spice round it out.

Finish: Slight fruitiness and grape tannic notes with a lingering spice.
