Angel’s Envy Breaks the Mold with Its First Bourbon Without a Cask Finish
Angel’s Envy, a Kentucky distillery known for its port cask-finished bourbons, is shaking things up with its latest release: a bottled-in-bond bourbon that skips the cask finishing treatment altogether. This new whiskey is a first for the distillery, and it’s only available in Louisville this week.
The core Angel’s Envy bourbon is aged for four to six years and then finished in port barrels for up to six months, resulting in a whiskey with notes of dried fruit, fresh berries, and spice. But the new Cask Strength Bottled in Bond takes a different approach, aging for almost six years and bottling at 100 proof.
“The distillery and production team have been meticulously exploring ways to introduce a bottled-in-bond whiskey that upholds the brand’s unwavering standards.”
According to a rep for the distillery, the decision to release this new whiskey was based on feedback from Angel’s Envy fans over the years. The Cask Strength Bottled-in-Bond bourbon represents Angel’s Envy’s unique approach to fulfilling this request, presenting an unfinished whiskey that intertwines two innovative mechanisms: bottled-in-bond and cask strength finishing.
So, what can we expect from this new bourbon? The official tasting notes describe it as having a nose of caramelized sugar and vanilla wafer, followed by flavors of banana pudding, honey latte, light fruit syrup, and toasted oak on the palate.
