The story behind the SPIRIT

Our 12th Annual Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels was bottled at 118.2 proof (59.1% ABV). Selected from barrels aged 5 to 9 years and finished in port wine casks, it showcased concentrated dark fruit, caramel depth, and structured oak. To this day, it remains a coveted expression among collectors.

TASTING Notes

Bottled at 118.2 proof (59.1% ABV), this spirit evokes creamy notes of cherry, caramel, and marshmallow on the palate, which lead into a finish of baking spice, oak tannins, and red wine.

NOSE

Brandied cherries and rich port. Vanilla and cocoa powder mingle with red fruit, creating an almost cherry cola aroma as it opens up.
PALATE

Hints of sassafras, as rounded fruit meets earthy grains. Vanilla caramels and creamy marshmallow temper the heat with a dessert-like quality.
FINISH

Traditional spices give way to mint and orange oil, with oak tannins leading to a long red wine finish.

A NOTE FROM OWEN

THE ART OF
CASK STRENGTH

“My passion and purpose in crafting this cask strength release go beyond the boundaries of distillation. It’s about capturing the essence of time, tradition, and craftsmanship in every bottle. I’ve poured my heart into each barrel, knowing that this would be more than just a drink; it’s a testament to the heritage of this art.

With my first Angel’s Envy Cask Strength release, I aimed to share not only the rich flavors but also the stories and emotions blended into each sip. It’s a labor of love, and my way of inviting fellow spirits enthusiasts to experience the very soul of our craft.”
