Angel's Envy Bourbon Finished in Port Wine Barrels

Great everyday

Very vanilla forward and sweet but not too sweet that makes it undrinkable. A little thin on mouthfeel but not bad. Finish medium with taste following nose. Not bad for a finished bourbon and better than OF 1910.

Beautiful, sweet nose. Smooth drinking. A treat.

Very smooth, not strong rye taste, a bit sweet but not overly,

N: Cherries, red grapes, ethanol, medicinal notes, mint, fresh cut wood, dried firewood, maybe some sawdust, char, maybe (probably) some distant vanilla and caramel. P: Thin feeling on entry. Caramel, milk chocolate, red fruit, hot cinnamon and cloves, vanilla, rye bread, cereal grain, corn. F: Cherry cough syrup, vanilla bread pudding, medicine, brown sugar, caramel, mint, dried herbs. I dig the cherry notes, but ends up a little too boozy for me. Ends up feeling unpolished with a bit too much of a reminder of gasoline. Long story short, I can't imagine picking this up again when both Buffalo Trace and Knob Creek's entry level offerings are about $10 cheaper and better, in my opinion. ____________ Please come join an unofficial Distiller community on Discord: https://discord.gg/VSmCvzAQfH.
