There seems to be two schools of thought regarding Angel's Envy, it's either one of the best bourbons out there or it's one of the most over hyped bourbons on the market. My first pour puts me somewhere near the middle, but with a definite lean toward this being a very good pour. The nose is more ethanol than expected, but the burn doesn't shows up on the palette. I've seen this bourbon referred to as almost cloyingly sweet, but I think it's sweetness is just right and not overly sweet at all. It's one of the smoothest I've tasted, very easy to sip on. Mild almost delicate floral and dark fruit notes. There are hints of oak and char, but again very subtle. Minimal bitterness, with a short dry finish. So, I wouldn't say this bourbon presents anything mind-blowing as some suggest, I do think this is a great tasting, unique bourbon. I would happily sip this anytime, but at this price point it's probably not going to be daily.
