“Bourbon goes to Finishing School”

This amazing Bourbon is a product of Louisville Distilling Co., a distillery rooted in 200 years of Bourbon heritage that creates artisan, hand-finished spirits. The Angel's Envy is, as they say, their masterpiece, and was inspired by legendary Master Distilled Lincoln Handerson's lifetime spent crafting fine spirits. They offer two other expressions: a cask strength Bourbon and a Rum finished Rye.

For the production of Angel’s Envy Port Finished Bourbon only mineral-rich Kentucky limestone water and locally sourced grains are used. The Bourbon is aged for up to 6 years in the upper floors of the warehouse, and finished for another 3-6 months in port casks made from French oak that are imported directly from Portugal. My, oh, my gimme, gimme!

Keith
Keith,
Absolutely loved it. Smooth and easy with a great finish.
Michael
Michael,
Find the bourbon to soft and wimp for my taste. It is well loved but not my cup of tea.
Eric
Eric,
The port is a great finisher, love it combined with the vanilla
Troy
Troy,
1. I'm still very much of a novice, so take that in mind. 2. A bit of astringency up front (but I get that with almost everything), but it mellows out from there. As more of a wine-drinker, I definitely appreciate the sublet port tones. Before the port comes through, there is a biter-maple quality, which I like. It's one of my favorites so far ("so far" being in the less than $60 a bottle grouping).

Definitely one of my favorite bourbons. It's not your typical bourbon, it's smooth with a sweet finish from the port wine barrels. Great for beginners!

Bradley
Bradley,
I received this several weeks ago and saved it for tonight, special occasion. I immediately came online to order more bottles and it is sold out. There is a reason for this. It is the smoothest, best bourbon I have had for late night, brandy sniffer, wood fire, relaxing, experience. It is now wish listed to purchase more.
Lloyd
Lloyd,

I thought this was the smoothest bourbon I had ever tried. In fact, so smooth that I drank the whole bottle (not all at once)! Great buy, and I will buy more.

Dan
Dan,
Rich oak in the nose. Initially sweet with buttery, almost caramel notes. The sweetness gives way to subtle floral flavors with hints of grain and smoke. Long, clean, dry finish. Extremely smooth, easy to drink whiskey. My new favorite!
Daniel
Daniel,
One of my favorite bottles in my collection. I'd rank it in my top three with Four Roses Single Barrel and Woodford Reserve. New to the club though and looking forward to further expanding my horizons.

Nice sipping whiskey.
Brian
Brian,
Sip-for-sip, dollar-for-dollar one of the finest bourbons ever made. There is a reason that, depending on the critics, this bourbon ranks in the high 90s of most reviews. The Madeira notes, a medium body, it sips best straight, but there are those who feel the compulsion to chill and dilute, to which I say, 'to each their own,' much as I would to the guy who painted over the Picasso to make room for his masterpiece. Aptly named, this whiskey is truly "divine."
Eric
Eric,
So smooth and creamy. No harsh finish! This is my new go to bourbon whiskey!

It stood out in a flight that I had in Louisville 2 years ago and have loved it ever since.

Vincent

Too much spice for my taste but I like a darker, more caramel flavored whiskey. This is definitely a good one if you're into the spicier whiskeys.
