The first time we toured the Angel’s Envy distillery back in 2022, we were incredibly excited to taste the actual Angel’s Envy Bourbon rather than the NDP version. Up until a few years ago, Angel’s Envy Bourbon was made with whiskey purchased from another Kentucky distiller, giving the brand a runway to ramp up its own production, which began in 2017.

Believe us when we say: selecting a barrel of Angel’s Envy that was actually distilled at Angel’s Envy distillery is a lot more exciting!

To start, we were able to sample each Port-finished cask side by an unfinished cask of the new Angel's Envy Bourbon as a control. Knowing we were choosing from stocks of the new distillate, we wanted to give our customers the chance to taste the whiskey itself in as pure of a state as possible. Hence, we searched around for the Port cask with the least amount of influence, rather than the richest, most dessert-y expression. 

There was an incredible specimen that lived up to the hedonistic and supple delight that is Angel’s Envy at full proof, brimming with candied fruit and dark chocolate flavors. However, we chose the one that tasted the most like Bourbon and the least like Port.

That little kiss of red fruit on the back end is most certainly present in this single barrel expression, but it's far from the focus. You may not even know it was finished in Port were it not labeled on the front of the bottle. If anything, it just tastes good old fashioned Kentucky Bourbon with a kick from the 110 proof.

We were excited to be one of the first stores in America to bottle the actual Angel’s Envy Bourbon, and again we’re thrilled to bring you our latest iteration today at the bargain price of just $79.99 for a single barrel whiskey of this pedigree, bottled at 55% ABV. It’s absolutely delicious and we hope you enjoy it.
