Angel's Envy 86 Proof Port Cask Finished Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

SKU #1068409 94 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark Luxe and velvety, this port-finished Bourbon shows bold caramel and toffee up front, morphing into notes of sherry, honey and rounded red fruit. Plush and very soft, it needs little more than an ice cube. (KN) Inner quote mark (7/2015)

Outer quote mark Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey finished in a Port pipe. This is veteran master distiller Lincoln Henderson’s newest creation, and it's a beauty. Richly textured, silky, and well-rounded, with ripe berried fruits, candied tangerine, light toffee, maple syrup, and creamy vanilla, sprinkled with spice (cinnamon, hint of mint). Smooth, silky finish, and dangerously drinkable! The port pipe notes dovetail perfectly. Lovely just the way it is, but it's begging for a cigar. My only gripe: why not 45 or 50% ABV? But I'm splitting hairs. I really enjoy this stuff! (Vol. 20, #1) Inner quote mark

K&L Notes

When former Woodford Reserve top dog Lincoln Henderson (may he rest in peace) finally brought his Port-finished bourbon to California everybody went nuts. Lincoln sourced some fantastic juice for this project—rich, smooth, supple, and easy drinking. The Port barrels really add a beautiful layer of sweetness to the whiskey that most drinkers will really enjoy. It's been a tremendous hit, much like High West and WhistlePig have been for rye before it. (David Driscoll, former K&L Spirits buyer)

So what happens when one of Kentucky's most respected distillers source ultra high quality bourbon and finishes it in sweet Port wine casks, the bourbocalypse? Perhaps. But what's really going on here is one of the most successful examples of the potential of wine finishing in modern whiskey. Be it the Henderson's deft palate or their monumental experience - the Angel's Envy is unquestionably a sensation. Easy enough for you mom to love it, yet NOT boring in the slightest. The flavor profile is never dominated by the port, so it still tastes like bourbon, put the sweet rich flavors are there to enhance and envelop the already wonderful profile of the bourbon. The late Lincoln Henderson was clearly a genius and we know his legacy will be well looked after by the brands current custodians.
