Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon is finished in port wine casks for an award-winning spirit. Each batch’s conditioning is guided, blending the handcrafted bourbon in small batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time. It’s typically aged for up to 6 years.
While we lose about 5% of the spirit each year to evaporation, or the Angel’s Share, what’s left behind after it is done is truly worthy of envy. Once it’s deemed ready, we finish our bourbon in ruby port wine casks, which adds subtly distinct flavor nuances that enhance the whiskey without challenging it. The port finishing process lasts between three to six months, depending on taste. Vanilla, ripe fruit, maple syrup, toast and bitter chocolate
