Angel’s Envy just announced the limited-edition release of Angel’s Envy 2020 Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Barrels. Only 17,400 bottles of the 120.4-proof expression will be available beginning Sunday (November 1).
The 2020 release is the ninth iteration of Angel’s Envy’s Cask Strength and is the first to be offered in all 50 states.
“My boys and I look forward to working together to release our Cask Strength whiskey to bookend each year – it’s our family tradition that lets us both reflect on and celebrate our growth,” said Wes Henderson, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Angel’s Envy. “Many of our fans have made it their own tradition to hunt down and collect our annual Cask Strength release, or give it as a special gift over the holidays, so we’re especially excited that folks in all 50 states will get the opportunity to track down one of 2020’s special bottles.”
The Angel’s Envy Cask Strength program started in 2012 when Henderson, along with his father, the late Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson, and his eldest son Kyle Henderson, first selected a handful of exceptional barrels to put through the extended finishing process in Portuguese port wine casks. The tradition has been carried forward by Henderson and his sons each year.
Angel’s Envy 2020 Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Barrels will be available next month at a suggested retail price of $199.99.
