What Makes It Special

• First Age-Stated Cask Strength for Angels Envy. Previous Cask Strength editions didnt carry an age statement.

• 10 years of maturation is long for a bourbon that also undergoes finishing; gives depth and wood integration that shorter bourbon + finish expressions often lack.

• Port barrel finish elevates sweetness, fruit tannin, adds complexity beyond standard bourbon oak flavors. Angels Envy is known for their wine/port finishing, and this amplifies that craft.

• Cask strength + non-chill filtered gives a more intense, raw delivery: more texture, more flavor layers, less masking.

• Very rich and complex great for sipping neat.

• Bottle worth collecting: limited edition, with anniversary significance.

• Wide flavor spectrum: sweet, spicy, fruity, woody. Good both for seasoned bourbon drinkers and those who like high-proof pours.

How to Enjoy

• Neat / Glassware: Use a Glencairn or snifter to really enjoy the nose; resting for a few minutes helps open the aromatics.

• With Water: A few drops of distilled or spring water can help unlock more fruit / port notes and soften the proof without losing body.

• Occasions: Ideal as a celebratory or contemplative bourbon birthdays, milestones, gift giving, or special dinners.

• Pairings: Dark chocolate, dried fruits, rich cheeses (blue cheese, aged cheddar), spiced desserts (plum tart, pecan pie, caramel crme brule). Also good with cigars for those who enjoy that pairing.
