You know, every time I try something new from Angel's Envy; I'm not immediately blown away. Maybe it's because I was never really a fan of the port finish on the original bourbon. Always too heavy into the realm of red fruit for me, especially for a bourbon. But here I am trying yet another new release by Angel's Envy. This time, Triple Oak as a new member of their core line up. The nose on this selection seems delicious enough. Sweetened cream, vanilla and caramel create a sweet, viscous first impression on the nose. There's fruit by way of bakes apples and cherries, like pie filling. Diving deeper into the nose, you're greeted with a much more spicy and tannic profile including charred oak and baking spice. Begins innocently enough with milk chocolate, vanilla and caramel on the front of the taste. That chocolate takes on an almost chocolate covered roasted nut quality mid taste and then it really blossoms into something significantly more dry and spicy than I was expecting. Tannic oak, black peppercorn and cinnamon all take over the palate from 3/4 to the very back of the taste. This bourbon leaves your tongue a bit tingly from the spice. The finish is overrun with tannic oak, bittersweet dark chocolate powder and black peppercorns. I think as the newest of Angel's Envy's core offerings this one is probably the best of the bunch. But just a bit tannic and spicy for me to truly enjoy. Tastes are subjective but I like my bourbons somewhere on the line of sweet and cloying.
