Angel’s Envy “Mission Exclusive” Single Barrel Bourbon Finished In Sherry Casks 116 Proof 750ml

Details

Angels Envy created a phenomenon when it released its flagship Bourbon less than a decade ago, finished in sweet Port barrels to give the whiskey a rounder, fruitier finish.

Its subsequent rye whiskey release followed suit, using sweet rum casks as a finishing agent and lacing the flavor profile with molasses and brown sugar.

While this isnt our first single barrel of Angels Envy Bourbon, the private barrels previously available for retailers were simply additional barrels from the flagship formula bottled at a higher proof. However, for this latest release we were offered its latest evolution: a single Sherry cask bottled at a monster ABV.

Soaked in Oloroso, this 116 proof single cask Bourbon showcases toasted toffee on the nose with a rich, unctuous mouthfeel that manages to cut through some of the heat. Yet, the reason we gravitated towards this cask was exactly the balance between the high 58% ABV and the incredible sweetness imparted by the Sherry. Its in a beautiful spot right out of the barrel, no water addeda yin-yang of harmony between strength and decadence.

For fans of Angels Envy who have been longing for something new and exciting, this is the bottle youre gonna want. From a flavor perspective, its the same sweet and supple Bourbon profile youve come to love over the years, but with a new twist. Our high proof single barrel selection is the best version weve tasted of Angels Envy thus far.
