Angel's Envy Bourbon Finished in Port Wine Barrels

Nose: Brown sugar, spice, and honey roasted peanuts. Palate: raisins from the port barrels, with more brown sugar and spice, and some vanilla wafers. moderate sweetness. a little heat finish: warm spice, moderate length Absolutely nothing wrong with this bourbon, but its a little steep at $50. would gladly pay $40 but unless I start making more money it might be a rare buy.

Cherry soda, soft corn, spicy finish

A little sweet for my normal taste but a nice change-of-pace sipper for after-dinner conversations.

Best

Tough start, great finish!

The corn sweetness melds well with the oak, lending a malt-like quality to the palate. The malt-like character continues, as sweetness leads to wood spice. The finish is less than memorable. Be that as it may, I'll probably buy this once a year just to have a cool-looking bottle on the bourbon shelf. My Rating Glossary: Two Stars: "I'd rather be drinking lite beer." Two 1/2 Stars: "Posh rubbish." Three Stars: "I love whisk(e)y. This is average love." Three 1/2 Stars: "May buy again." Four Stars: "I've got to get you into my life." Four 1/2 Stars: "Better than drugs." Five Stars: "Life is good. Whisky makes it better."

Easy drinking. Reminds me of Basil Hayden.
