Angel's Envy Bourbon Finished in Port Wine Barrels

A great summer night sipping a nice bourbon.

Better than the Caribbean cask but not by much. Smooth if nothing else. Hate that sweetness/fruitiness at the end.

Average. Good, but sweet. Low proof. Will only use in mixed drinks.

Great bourbon! Outstanding & unique. Nose: soft notes of pineapple, oak, custard, lemon, ginger. Taste: this is a spice bomb, and delivers an instant "Kentucky hug" (warming sensation in the chest). Spice is hard to place... sharp ginger comes closest... some spice touches border on hot peppers (serrano?). Lemon custard, oak, pineapple. Creamy mouthfeel. Finish: long and complex. Spiciness lingers & then actually increases/sharpens for a while after tasting before gradually tapering off. Finish is also where the port cask flavors are most prominent.
