Angel's Envy Cask Strength Port Cask (2024 Release; Batch C13), 59.4%

Price: 230 Issue: Spring 2025 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

The nose is aromatic and gentle despite the proof, with vanilla fudge, salted caramel, cotton candy, and dried strawberries, balanced by oak, cedar closet, and earthiness. The big palate offers more vanilla, plus red berry, baked cherries, espresso, and a generous dash of pepper spice. The fruit and sweetness stand up to the heat nicely. The finish is medium-length, with similar flavors and a fair amount of oak influence. (Release date: 12/24).
