Angel’s Envy: Breaking the Mold with a Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon

As a whisky enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for something new and exciting. That’s why I was thrilled to hear about Angel’s Envy’s latest release - a bottled-in-bond bourbon that breaks away from their traditional port cask finishing. This Louisville distillery is known for its innovative approach to whisky-making, and this new release is no exception.

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 rich, fruity flavor profile. But this new release takes a different approach. Aged for almost six years, this bourbon is bottled at 100 proof, making it a cask-strength whisky that’s sure to please even the most discerning palates.

According to Master Distiller Owen Martin, the team at Angel’s Envy took a unique approach to creating this bottled-in-bond bourbon. Instead of withdrawing the barrels at 100 proof, they let them mature further to prioritize flavor. The result is a whisky that’s both complex and balanced, with notes of dried fruit, fresh berries, and spice.

What I find particularly interesting about this release is the way it challenges traditional notions of what a bourbon should be. By forgoing the port cask finishing, Angel’s Envy is able to showcase the raw, unadulterated flavor of their bourbon. It’s a bold move, and one that pays off in a big way.
