Angels Envy Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels

Each year, as part of the ANGEL’S ENVY Cask Strength program, the ANGEL’S ENVY team selects noteworthy barrels from its rickhouses to put through an extended finishing process in port wine barrels from Portugal. These special barrels bring forward distinct characteristics in the whiskey, giving each expression of ANGEL’S ENVY Cask Strength a unique nose, palate and finish.

The Angel’s Envy 11th Cask Strength release has arrived. The 2022 Edition is made from some of the most distinctive barrels in the distiller rickhouse and aged for up to 14 additional months in port wine casks, it’s one of the most popular and critically acclaimed whiskey collections.

Previous ANGEL’S ENVY Cask Strength releases have been highly acclaimed and awarded by reviewers, experts, and journalists across the industry; most recently, the 2021 edition received a Double Gold from The San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a Gold from Fred Minnick’s ASCOT Awards and 92 points from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

Tasting Notes:

A dark amber, red bourbon with a creamy, indulgent flavor. Notes of caramel, brown sugar, and fruit.

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.

Enjoy this Kentucky whiskey neat in a bourbon glass, chilled, with just a splash of water or in alcohol drinks like an Old Fashioned. With Angel’s Envy, Heaven can wait.
