Angel's Envy 2023 Cask Strength Bourbon review

Tasting Notes

About:

bottled at 118.2 proof; just over 22,650 bottles released; $229.99 MSRP.
Appearance:
Expertise in barrel finishing shows here via the lovely orange, brown coloring tinted with red hues from the port barrel finish. Legs dance nicely on the insides of the glass.
Nose:
Oh, this is nice. Warm aromatics of butterscotch, chocolate, vanilla, Cracker Jack and brown sugar.
Palate:
This is the stuff made for cold nights. Chestnut, earthy funk, vanilla, oak, sweet toffee, warm spice and pumpernickel bread combine for a decadent taste that lingers into a long, meandering finish to keep your mouth watering.
Finish:
Comments:
This is some really great stuff here. Cask strength Kentucky bourbon finished in port barrels done right, this exemplifies why Angel’s Envy is such a well loved brand and truly a specialist in the barrel finishing arena. Grab a bottle if you can.
