98 Points – Wine Enthusiast
Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon is finished in ruby port wine casks, which adds subtly distinct flavour nuances that enhance the whiskey without challenging it. The port finishing process lasts between three to six months, depending on taste.
“A beautiful, mouthwatering newcomer to the whiskey scene. Named for the “angel’s share,” the portion that evaporates from the barrel during the aging process, this golden amber spirit is finished in Port barrels, which explains those juicy red-fruit notes that slide into the long finish. Look for orange peel, vanilla and roasted nut flavours, too.”
-Wine Enthusiast
60-gallon ruby port barrels made from French oak and imported directly from Portugal are used in the finishing process. This creates a whiskey of unprecedented smoothness, sweetness and balance.
