Angel’s Envy Small Batch 100 Proof Port Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Discover an elevated masterpiece of American whiskey with Angel's Envy Small Batch 100 Proof Port Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Originally launched as a highly coveted travel retail exclusive edition, this rare expression steps up the heat and complexity from the standard release, making it an absolute must-have for serious spirit collectors, "dusty hunters," and bourbon connoisseurs.

Crafted in Louisville, Kentucky, by the pioneering team founded by legendary Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson, Angel’s Envy is famous for transforming top-shelf spirits through innovative secondary maturation. This premium Small Batch Bourbon begins with hand-selected barrels of classic Kentucky straight bourbon aged for up to 6 years in new charred American white oak. From there, the whiskey undergoes a secondary finish for three to six months in hand-imported, 60-gallon French oak ruby port wine casks sourced directly from Portugal’s famed Douro Valley.

The Ultimate Double-Aged 100-Proof Balance

What sets this 100 Proof bourbon (50% ABV) apart is its impeccable structure and magnitude of flavour. While the distillery loses roughly 5% of its liquid every year to evaporation—reverently known as the "Angel's Share"—what stays behind is an incredibly rich, non-chill filtered spirit. Bottled at a robust 100 proof, the extra heat perfectly amplifies the sweet, jammy characteristics of the port wine finish, cutting through any thinness to deliver a viscous, oily mouthfeel and an unforgettable sipping experience.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma / Nose: Rich and highly aromatic. Subtle vanilla, maple syrup, raisins, and toasted nuts are beautifully layered with charred oak, dark caramel, and a sweet vinous undertone.
• Palate / Flavour: A bold flavour bomb. Upfront notes of creamy vanilla, ripe dark fruits, and maple syrup give way to complex layers of bitter chocolate, cinnamon baking spice, toasted wood, and a velvety port wine influence.
• Finish: Remarkably clean, warm, and lingeringly sweet. It fades slowly with a sophisticated hint of Madeira wine, drying oak tannins, and fine leather.

Whether enjoyed neat in a classic Glencairn glass, splashed over ice for a premium whiskey on the rocks, or used to build a robust, high-proof Old Fashioned or Manhattan, this exclusive bottle stands as a world-class luxury liquor gift or centrepiece for your premium spirits collection.
