Experience the heavenly taste of Angel's Envy
So good, even the angels want a piece
Angel's Envy is one of those whiskey brands that appeal to connoisseurs and a wider audience thanks to its creative finishing methods and commitment to producing high-quality, flavourful whiskeys.
The name "Angel's Envy" is derived from the term "angel's share," which refers to the portion of whiskey that evaporates during ageing. The idea is that the angels would be envious of the whiskey that remains. We can attest they have plenty to be jealous of.
No ordinary bourbon
What sets Angel's Envy apart is its finishing process: after initial ageing, the bourbon is transferred to Port wine barrels.
Angel's Envy
Angel's Envy is a rather splendid bourbon that has interestingly been finished in Port casks! The combination of the vanilla-y richness with the sweet, sticky Port notes (which really come to the fore of the delightful finish) is a match made in Heaven - an apt saying, considering the name.
Tasting Notes
Nose:
Orange segments, flaky pastry and cinnamon sticks.
Palate:
Creamy vanilla, cedar spice and the start of the red berry sweetness.
Finish:
A big helping of dark chocolate, red grape and a light waft of aromatic herbs.
