What is Angel's Envy Straight Kentucky Bourbon?
Angel's Envy Straight Kentucky Bourbon stands out for its unique finishing process in port wine barrels, which imparts a subtle sweetness and complexity to the spirit. Interestingly, the brand's name comes from the term "angel's share," referring to the portion of whiskey that evaporates during aging, but the founders cheekily suggest that the angels might be envious of the portion left behind for humans to enjoy.
Why do we love Angel's Envy Straight Kentucky Bourbon?
Angel's Envy Straight Kentucky Bourbon stands out for its unique finishing process in ruby port wine casks, which imparts subtle fruit and chocolate notes to the classic bourbon profile. This innovative approach, pioneered by master distiller Lincoln Henderson, results in a smooth, complex whiskey that marries traditional Kentucky bourbon characteristics with intriguing wine-influenced flavors.
How do you drink Angel's Envy Straight Kentucky Bourbon?
Angel's Envy Straight Kentucky Bourbon shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its port wine cask-finished flavors to unfold on the palate. This versatile bourbon also excels in spirit-forward cocktails, particularly those with a hint of sweetness, and pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes like grilled meats or aged cheeses, making it an ideal choice for cozy autumn evenings or special winter gatherings.

Nose: Vanilla and maple syrup dominate, with hints of toasted oak and ripe fruit. There's a subtle spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg. A faint aroma of port wine lingers in the background, adding complexity.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. Caramel and toffee flavors lead, followed by notes of banana bread and dark chocolate. The port wine finish becomes more prominent, contributing a layer of dried fruits and nuts. A gentle warmth from the alcohol is present but not overwhelming.
Finish: Medium to long, with lingering sweetness. The port influence shines through with flavors of raisins and figs. Oak tannins provide a slight dryness, while vanilla and caramel notes persist. A touch of cinnamon spice rounds out the experience.
Angel's Envy Straight Kentucky Bourbon begins its journey as a traditional bourbon, aged for 4-6 years in new charred oak barrels. What sets it apart is the final 3-6 month finishing period in ruby port wine casks from Portugal, which imparts subtle fruit and vanilla notes to the whiskey's classic bourbon profile.
