About This Spirit from the Maker
Angel's Envy® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Port Wine Barrels
ANGEL’S ENVY KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY begins with four to six years of aging in new American white oak barrels, then is finished for up to six months in port wine casks imported from Portugal’s Douro Valley. This double-aging process delivers our signature smoothness and a rich, layered flavor profile. Bottled at 86.6 proof, it reveals notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and ripe dark fruit with a warm, balanced finish. Enjoy it neat, over ice, or in a classic cocktail like the Old Fashioned or Paper Plane. A timeless expression and the perfect gift for any whiskey enthusiast.

How We Feel About the Spirit
Angel’s Envy: A Beautiful Classic with a Port‑Kissed Twist
Some bottles join our Sipping Room because they’re rare or hard to find. Others earn their place because they represent a category so well that the shelf simply wouldn’t feel complete without them. Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels is one of those bottles — a bourbon so widely respected, so instantly recognizable, that adding it felt like a natural step in building a thoughtful, well‑rounded collection.
We picked up our bottle because Angel’s Envy has become a modern staple in the bourbon world. Its reputation for craftsmanship, its unique finishing process, and yes — its unmistakable wing‑etched bottle — all make it a standout. Sometimes a bottle is both a representative and a piece of art, and this one manages to be both.
According to Angel’s Envy, this bourbon is finished in ruby port wine casks, a step that adds layers of subtle sweetness and depth without overwhelming the spirit. The official notes describe aromas of vanilla, raisins, maple syrup, and toasted nuts, followed by flavors of ripe fruit, vanilla, toast, and bitter chocolate, all wrapped in a finish that lingers with gentle sweetness and a hint of Madeira.
It’s a profile that feels warm, inviting, and just a little indulgent — the kind of bourbon that bridges the gap between classic Kentucky tradition and modern creativity.
