Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bourbon 2023 (Finished in Port Wine Barrels)

Crafted by our Master Distiller, Owen Martin, we are pleased to present our 12th Annual Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels at 118.2-proof (59.1% ABV).

In the spirit of honoring this timeless American craft, Owen hand-selected this year’s port wine barrels which have been aged from 5 to 9 years, followed by our extended finishing process. This created a truly special flavor profile worth savoring.
We invite you to collect this special limited-edition release.

A limited-edition release limited to just 22,656 bottles, showcasing the art of bourbon finishing at its finest. Whether you're a seasoned bourbon enthusiast or exploring the world of cask strength offerings, Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bourbon 2023 is a testament to innovation, craftsmanship, and passion.

"My passion and purpose in crafting this Cask Strength release go beyond the boundaries of distillation. It’s about capturing the essence of time, tradition, and craftsmanship in every bottle. I’ve poured my heart into each barrel, knowing that this would be more than just a drink; it’s a testament to the heritage of this art. 

With my first Angel’s Envy Cask Strength release, I aim to share not only the rich flavors but also the stories and emotions blended into each sip. It’s a labor of love, and my way of inviting fellow spirits enthusiasts to experience the very soul of our craft." - Owen Martin, Master Distiller

TASTING NOTES

This year’s release at 118.2-proof (59.1% ABV) features creamy notes of cherry, caramel, and marshmallow on the palate, which lead into a finish of baking spice, oak tannins, and red wine.

Appearance

A beautiful, deep amber red tint with a faint copper sheen.

Nose

Brandied cherries and rich port. Vanilla and cocoa powder mingle with red fruit, creating an almost cherry cola aroma as it opens up.

Palate

Hints of sassafras, as rounded fruit meets earthy grains. Vanilla caramels and creamy marshmallow temper the heat with a dessert-like quality.

FINISH

Traditional spices give way to mint and orange oil, with oak tannins leading to a long red wine finish.

SUSTAINABILITY

About an hour’s drive from Louisville, Kentucky, there’s a 350-acre plot of land upon which the ANGEL’S ENVY® Henry County distillery stands, and last year ANGEL’S ENVY® partnered with local farmers to turn 91 of those acres into co-opted cornfields. It was a good harvest (in more ways than one!), producing 16,000 bushels of corn, which accounted for less than 10% of our needs. And the good kept going because that corn needed cooks, which ANGEL’S ENVY® employed—43 of them to be exact—resulting in the production of around 40,000 Liters of Pure Alcohol (LPA). With the success of the FY22 harvest, ANGEL’S ENVY® plans to continue its partnership with local farmers for years to come.
