Yearly, Angel’s Envy drops a barrel proof model of its iconic Port-finished bourbon, and whereas the proof modifications barely from one yr to the subsequent, the general through-line doesn’t range all that a lot. 2022’s launch isn’t any shock, its burgundy-hued shade a deal with for the eyes, earlier than you ever dip into it.
Huge and fiery on the nostril, the whiskey has extra of a smoldering high quality than I sometimes get from Angel’s Envy. A touch of smoke informs notes of gingerbread, walnuts, and racy cinnamon — the long-lasting fruit of the whiskey tempered beneath. The palate is instantly targeted on sweetness, with notes of orange marmalade, strawberry jam, and cherry compote making for an opulent entree to excessive tea. Cola notes are a pleasant counterpart to all of the fruit within the combine, with a basic Port-driven raisin character arising sturdy because the end builds. There’s a whole lot of woody barrel affect right here, a typical encounter with Angel’s Envy, and water is useful at tempering the burly warmth, giving the end a brighter cherry observe, touched simply so with notes of lemon.
As is sort of all the time the case, it’s tremendous stuff — and a stunning vacation splurge for any fan of the standard-strength Angel’s Envy.
