I must be the only bourbon fan in the world who hasn't tried Angel's Envy. So here we go! The port barrel influence is immediately evident in the nose; which is mild but complex; cinnamon-sugar roasted pecans, tannic red wine, grape preserve, and vanilla pudding. You can literally touch your nose to the liquid and not get ethanol fumes. On the palate, the initial taste is that of liquid cinnamon toast crunch, followed by maple, orange zest, and corn in the mid-palate. Leather, wood, and some astringent char on the finish, which is quite short. The flavors might be lacking a little richness that might be found if this was a little higher proof. Delicate, silky feel on the palate. This was a hard one to rate. I definitely enjoyed it, but it has some flaws and is not the greatest value at $47 a bottle. That said, it's an interesting whiskey that kept me plumbing it's depths; I think it's one of those "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts" bourbons. Just misses a 4.0 overall.
