Dark cherry again, but with a syrup note emerging, as does brown sugar and leather. A touch of baking spices and orange oil lend a depth likely taken from the Port wood finish, balancing the sweetness. Lacking in bitterness – but not bite – Angel’s Envy has an impressive consistency from nose to palate. Finish: The finish is medium, warm. Reminiscent of snickerdoodles, the finish leaves the drinker wanting more of the same. Angel’s Envy is an incredibly easy drinking whiskey, with a slight astringency that made me feel tough as I drank it. Without a doubt, I understand the meteoric rise of this bourbon. Although the bottle design feels eerily similar to something Ed Hardy might design in a drunken haze, it does stand out on a crowded shelf. Angel’s Envy is a legacy whiskey that proves more than the sum of its parts; entirely satisfying and approachable, it lives up to the hype. At about $50 a bottle, it’s not an unreasonable addition to anyone’s whisk(e)y collection. I give Angel’s Envy Bourbon a score 91 points .
