Nose: Mellow and almost bland on the nose - generally sweet, dried fruit, a tiny little bit of barrel spice and oak. Palate: Very nutty to me, so much so that it makes me think it may be sourced from Beam. Not particularly noteable on the palate, besides wiffs of generic 'bourbon' from the loose vanilla and corn grain/baked bread. Nothing really sticks out, likely due to the low proof. Finish: The finish is pretty nice, with a solid hit of sweet dusty oak and barrel spice, with some sweeter berries rounding out a decently long finish. Maybe that's the port? But it doesn't smack you in the face. Sourced KY juice, probably around 6 years old, with a 6 month 'finish' on it, bottled at 86.6 proof. Sounds like a fine enough proposition, until you catch wind of the price tag. Almost $50?!?! Other bottles <$50: 4R SiB, RR 10 year SiB, Rare Breed, Woodford DO, etc, I could go on. These are all much older, higher proof, and not sourced! Are they finished in Port barrels? Obviously not, but I really don't get a strong influence in the first place, and proof doesn't do it any favors. If placed in a line up with EW SiB (86 proof, ~7 years old) and watered down KC, I really am not sure I'd be able to pick up on the port (and EW SiB and Knob Creek are both about half the price!). Maybe that means I have poor tastebuds, or maybe that means that the port doesn't really come through that much. As the barrel finishing trend gets more popular, Angel's Envy will have to do a lot more to stand out, especially at this price tag. For example: Doc Swinson's has a version, 12 year old sourced, and higher proof, for only a few bucks more. Although a perfectly fine enough bourbon, from a value for money stand point Angel's Envy really falls short. If this was $35, or closer to 100 proof, then it would receive a much higher rating. Is it mellow and perfectly sippable? Yes. Would I drink this if I was at a a friends house and they offered it? Probably, but it depends what else they have. And that simply won't do for a $50 bottle.
