Bourbon Review: Angel’s Envy Cask Strength 2016 Bourbon

Very hot! My first sip brought a slight burn on the lips and tip of the tongue. Try it with ice if you get a similar reaction. After that comes a hint of vanilla extract, and oak lolling around in my mouth. And then…alcohol! This is high-proof that tastes high-proof. I think this with some rich holiday-type food might work well, as they would balance each other out nicely. But I’d clink some ice in for sure. Final Thoughts & Score/Buy A Bottle: Score: 82/100 The Angel’s Envy Cask Strength is well made, but I don’t find it life-changing. It was very good, but I was expecting to be, like, magically airlifted to another planet. (“I’m ok to go!“) That said, the longer I let it sit, the better it sat with me.
