I have a soft spot for this bourbon in my heart because of the first time I tried it. At my best friend's wedding, the father of the bride brought the groomsmen a bottle two hours before the ceremony. The bottle was beautiful, with those arcing angel's wings gracing the glass. We passed it around, taking pulls until we finished it, and then left it on the worn, wooden floor and went down to get my friend married. I got another glass this weekend, a year and a half later. It's enjoyable but not a knockout. The nose doesn't reveal too much of the port influence, instead favoring a vanilla and toasted oak combination that I associate with more heavily aged bourbons. It tastes of that oak as well, along with some pronounced grape flavor, which is where the influence of the port pipes shows up. The finish is drying, a little grassy, and overoaked in my estimation. I'm shocked this bourbon is aged only 4 to 6 years, it has picked up a heap of oak influence in that time. At the price point ($50), I'd prefer something a bit more well-rounded like Russell's Reserve Single Barrel or Four Roses Single Barrel, both of which have more pronounced, sweet, fruity notes. I'll always treasure the memories of the first time I tried this, but Angel's Envy is not going to be a regular in my rotation.
