Description
Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Finished in Tawny Port Casks offers a unique and layered tasting experience. The initial aroma might present a touch of alcohol heat, but as it settles, expect a delightful interplay between the classic bourbon characteristics and the tawny port influence.
Nose
Look for inviting scents of burnt orange and smoked honey, hints of dark cherry adding a touch of richness. Some reviewers also detect a whisper of green apple, adding a refreshing counterpoint.
Palate
Despite being a high-proof bourbon (111.6 proof), the tawny port cask finish is said to contribute to a surprisingly light body. Don’t be fooled though, the flavor packs a punch. Anticipate a burst of citrus mingling with notes of honey and caramel, all brought together by the subtle presence of oak from the original bourbon aging. A touch of water or an ice cube can help unlock more of the delicate fruit elements.
Finish
The finish is where the tawny port truly shines. Imagine a smooth and lingering sensation, with honeydew melon taking center stage. Hints of the classic bourbon notes may linger as well, creating a satisfying and well-rounded experience.
