Angel's Envy Unveils First Age-Statement Bourbon: 10 Cask Strength

Angel's Envy, renowned for pioneering secondary barrel maturation, unveils its first-ever age-statement bourbon. Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength, the 14th edition in the annual Cask Strength series, hits shelves nationwide on October 10, priced at $250 per 750ml bottle. Only 24,480 bottles are available.

This limited release, bottled at a robust 122.6 proof, is a blend of bourbons distilled in 2014 and 2015. It spent a decade maturing, split between new charred oak and port wine barrels. The extended finishing time necessitated second-fill port barrels to prevent overpowering the bourbon's core character.

The nose greets drinkers with sweet cinnamon toast, creamy fruit nougat, and candied nuts. The palate offers a symphony of baklava, ripe apricot, and creme brulee, with a heavy lean towards port influence, culminating in notes of rum raisin cake. The use of Angel's Envy-distilled bourbons for the port wine-aged barrels ensures a harmonious blend.

Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength is a testament to the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. With its rich history and limited availability, this 10-year-old bourbon is poised to be a highly sought-after addition to any collection. The bourbon's age and unique maturation process promise a complex and enjoyable drinking experience.
