“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!

Member Reviews and Ratings of Angel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Tristan
Tristan,
The nose is interesting! Like a smoked berry medley jam. Smooth on the palate with an it of lingering spice on the back that merely expands. I'm almost too afraid to try mixing this in anything, not that it needs to be.
Jim
Jim,
Phenomenal!!!
Rick
Rick,
Very smooth and sweet bourbon.
Andrew
Andrew,
A lot of people love this and I understand why (I love "sweet" in my bourbon as much as the next guy) but this one is just too much for my taste buds.

We're syrup meets paint shellac. But in a good way.

is a good bourbon with a rich birth, a creamy life & a sweet death!

By far one of my favorites.
Allen
Allen,
Love this one. Easy drinking.
John
John,
Amazing value. My go-to sipping bourbon. Smooth with no dirt or nut after.
Thomas
Thomas,
A little sweet for my tastes. Lovely fruity/maple nose. A little spicy in the mouth initially but a nice mellow as time progresses.
John
John,
Very smooth. Rich finish.

A hint of fruity aroma to the nose with a very smooth palette.

The port cast finish makes this a very enjoyable bourbon
Michael
Michael,
Great and easy going with smooth notes.
Carl
Carl,
One of the best bourbons out there in my opinion...but since it's "finished" in port casks is it really bourbon???
Scott
Scott,
Smooth and easy to drink
Randall
Randall,
Here's the deal...I buy all of the bourbon you advertise for substantially less. An example is "Angel's Envy"...which I get for $8-$9 less at local liquor stores. Nice selection...but, I question your pricing strategy.
Andy
Andy,
It's very light and easy to drink…too easy to me. Not much in the way of flavor. Good way to ease someone into bourbon, though.
Will
Will,
almost a perfect Bourbon
Chris
Chris,

Ryan

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,
It is one of my go to bourbons. Very smooth with a clean finish. Excellent.

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.

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

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.
