This expression is a harmonious blend of time-honored bourbon-making traditions and cutting-edge finishing techniques, creating a whiskey that is as complex as it is captivating.
The 2015 edition of Angel's Envy Cask Strength continues the brand's legacy of excellence, selected from the finest barrels and finished in port wine casks, which imbue the bourbon with layers of rich, nuanced flavors. This annual release is revered by collectors and bourbon aficionados alike, and with good reason—each sip reveals the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its creation.
Visually, this whiskey is a showstopper, with a deep, lustrous amber hue that hints at the depth of flavor within. The nose is immediately inviting, offering a bouquet of rich, dark fruits—think black cherries, plums, and figs—balanced by notes of creamy vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of sweet spice. As the aromas evolve, subtler notes of chocolate, caramel, and a faint whisper of port wine emerge, creating a multi-dimensional sensory experience.
On the palate, the 2015 Angel's Envy Cask Strength delivers a velvety, mouth-coating richness that is nothing short of indulgent. The port wine finish adds a sweet, fruity complexity, with flavors of dark berries, raisins, and dried apricots taking center stage. These are complemented by the bourbon's inherent caramel and toffee sweetness, as well as layers of baking spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove—that provide warmth and depth. The oak influence is present but perfectly balanced, adding structure without overshadowing the other flavors.
The finish is long, luxurious, and memorable, with the sweetness of the port wine and the spiciness of the bourbon lingering on the palate. The high proof of this cask-strength bourbon is evident, delivering a bold, full-bodied experience, yet it remains remarkably smooth, with no harsh edges. A few drops of water or a single ice cube can open up even more complexity, though this whiskey is just as enjoyable sipped neat.
