Angel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished In Port Wine Barrels 750ml
Angel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon is finished in port wine casks for an award-winning spirit. We guide each batch's conditioning, blending our handcrafted bourbon in small batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time.
It's typically aged for up to 6 years. While we lose about 5% of the spirit each year to evaporation, or the Angel's Share, what's left behind after we're done is truly worthy of envy.
Once it's deemed ready, we finish our bourbon in ruby port wine casks, which adds subtly distinct flavor nuances that enhance the whiskey without challenging it. Our port finishing process lasts between three to six months, depending on taste.
We use 60-gallon ruby port barrels made from French oak and imported directly from Portugal. This creates a whiskey of unprecedented smoothness, sweetness and balance.
NOTES OF
SCENT & FLAVOR
COLOR
Deep colour, almost opaque.
NOSE
Aroma of excellent complexity, with wild bush and spicy notes like curry, pepper and ginger, red berries and black fruits mixed with a light cacao touch, the result of a good maturation, along with a slightly stony finish.
PALATE
On the palate it has a powerful attack, with a lively acidity, firm and well present tannins, wild bush and red berry notes, with an extremely long finish and great concentration.
“Thanks to the characteristics and potential of the vineyards at Quinta do Seixo, it was possible to cut through the strong maturations of this year's harvest. As a result, we produced very balanced and robust wines, with aromatic notes typical of more mature years.” - Luís Sottomayor, head of Sogrape's winemaking
