Angel’s Envy Unveils Its First-Ever Non-Finished Whiskey

In a groundbreaking move, Angel’s Envy has announced the release of its inaugural Cask Strength Bottled in Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, marking a significant departure from its signature port-finished bourbons.

Angel’s Envy’s new release is a game-changer in the world of bourbon

The brand, founded by Lincoln Henderson and his son Wes in 2014, has built its reputation on finishing whiskeys. However, this new release sees Angel’s Envy venturing into uncharted territory with an unfinished whiskey that’s sure to excite bourbon enthusiasts.

What sets this release apart is its unique blend of historic Bottled in Bond distinction and modern cask strength boldness. Master Distiller Owen Martin has achieved a remarkable feat by blending 27 low-proof barrels with two high-proof barrels from the same season to reach exactly 100 proof.

“In spring 2018, the team started with a lower barrel entry proof of 103 and placed our barrels in a cool, humid warehouse. Instead of withdrawing them at 100 proof, we let them mature further to prioritize flavor. We drew the barrels at 98-99 proof and blended 27 low-proof barrels with two high-proof barrels from the same season to reach exactly 100 proof, creating Cask Strength Bottled in Bond.” - Master Distiller Owen Martin

Tasting Notes

The Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bottled in Bond presents a toasted gold appearance and comes in at 100 proof (50% ABV). The final bourbon boasts lightly caramelized sugars and vanilla wafers on the nose, with a hint of banana pudding.
