Louisville Distilling Co - 'Angel's Envy: 2017 Release' Cask Strength Bourbon (750ML)

Each year, Angel's Envy collect a handful of truly remarkable barrels from their rickhouse. It’s a rigorous process that has everything to do with taste and nothing to do with “hitting our numbers.” It might be one barrel out of every couple of hundred barrels, but when we taste a Cask Strength-worthy barrel, they just know. These barrels are set aside for a longer port finish aging process, and the result is always worth tasting.

Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer Wes Henderson explains what makes the 2017 Cask Strength release so special. “I’m very excited about this year’s release. I truly believe that this is one of the best we’ve done so far. It’s like children. You never want to say you have a favorite, and of course you don’t. But every year’s release is distinctive and has its own strengths. Our 2017 Cask Strength ranks up there with the top releases we’ve had so far. I think that it’s a very balanced whiskey. It’s the perfect combination of traditional bourbon along with those port finished notes that we’ve grown to love. This year, we’ve let the bourbon come out a little more than previous years, which makes it even more interesting.”
