Angel's Envy Unveils First Age-Statement Bourbon: 10-Year Cask Strength
Angel's Envy, renowned for pioneering secondary barrel maturation, has unveiled its first-ever age-statement bourbon. The Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength is set to hit shelves nationwide on October 10, priced at $250 per bottle.
This 14th edition in the brand's annual Cask Strength series is a blend of bourbons distilled in 2014 and 2015. It has spent a cumulative 10 years maturing in both new charred oak and port wine barrels. The nose greets drinkers with sweet cinnamon toast, creamy fruit nougat, and candied nuts. The palate opens with baklava, transitions to ripe apricot and crème brûlée, and finishes with a subtle kick from grains of paradise and a heavy lean into port influence, offering notes of rum raisin cake. Bottled at 122.6 proof, this limited release sees only 24,480 bottles available.
Age plays a crucial role in bourbon's taste. Even 9 or 10-year-old bourbons are highly sought after, and Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength is no exception. It's a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and innovation.
Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength is a significant addition to the bourbon landscape. With its complex flavors, impressive age, and limited availability, it's sure to be a hot commodity among collectors and connoisseurs alike. The distillery, owned by Bacardi Limited, continues to push boundaries in the world of bourbon.
