Angels Envy is a Straight Kentucky Bourbon, aged 4 to 6 years, and bottled at 43.3% abv. The bourbon is matured in charred oak of barrels and is finished in Port wine barrels. Angels Envy is created by the Henderson Family and is produced by the Louisville Distillery in Kentucky which is owned by Bacardi.
The bottle I sampled was Batch No. 752 and Bottle No. 8840. It is different tasting than most bourbons I have sampled due to the port finish. The port wine finish is nice touch, but for traditional bourbon drinker this may not be to one’s liking. The bottle is a tall and flat shaped and imprinted wing that stand out through the bourbon and is unique looking. It is also a thin bottle that is easy to hide at your desk at work.
Other expressions produced by Angel Envy are:
- Port Finish
- Rum Finish
- Cask Strength,
- Sherry Cask 2019
- Tawny Cask 2020
Good to drink straight or on rocks and maybe an after-dinner drink. I do not recommend it in cocktails, but the website has several receipts.
Priced around $55 and worth the money if the flavor profile.
