Finished in Port Wine Barrels, this year’s expression is now available in 25 markets. Each year, Angel’s Envy carefully selects barrels exceptional enough for the lengthy Cask Strength finishing process.
Angel’s Envy starts as a super-premium bourbon of uncompromising quality, aged up to seven years for the perfect level of richness and maturity. However, only a few of these barrels meet the brand’s high Cask Strength standards. The hand-selected barrels are then blended and receive an extended finish in Portuguese port wine casks.
“Cask Strength is a complex whiskey unlike any in the marketplace,” said Wes Henderson, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Angel’s Envy. We started a special tradition with Cask Strength in 2012. I look forward to continuing this tradition for many generations.”
Retail: $199.99. Each year, the proof varies based on the barrels selected. The 2017 release is 124.5-proof or 62.25% ABV, “so you might want to consider sipping Cask Strength with a dash of water to release some of the flavor nuances,” the company says.
