Angel's Envy Bourbon Finished in Port Wine Barrels
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

I'm tasting this from a sample, but the Total Wine site here in Albuquerque lists a fifth at $59.99. This bourbon has a mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, and is 86.6 proof. It's a disappointing whisky - for all the hype, and the price, it ought to be considerably better. It's drinkable, but I've had better for less.
The color is ripe wheat, with a faint tinge of copper. The legs are narrow and close together.
NOSE: Alcohol - not a burn, just the smell - appears first. Then there are notes of vanilla, oak, and caramel, none of them very strong. Even with my nose right in the glass, the nose on this whisky isn't really there.
TASTE: Corn sweetness, the burn of alcohol, rye spice, all with a slightly creamy mouthfeel.
FINISH: Medium, with nothing in it but spice.
