Angel’s Envy announced its 13th annual Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels.
This year’s release offers a new spin on the traditional annual release by introducing a Tawny Port Wine finish blended with the traditional Ruby Port Wine finish. Angel’s Envy Master Distiller Owen Martin and the production team blended the finish from Tawny Port barrels with the base bourbon’s heat to integrate with the trademark Ruby Port. Using the Solera Method for the first time, they created a continuous aging process that ensures consistent flavor.
“I’m excited to continue evolving what fans can expect from the Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Program in new yet familiar ways,” said Owen Martin, Master Distiller at Angel’s Envy. “This year’s Cask Strength Bourbon not only honors the familiar flavors our fans love but also adds another layer of complexity with the Tawny finish. It’s a great example of our vision for innovation, staying true to our roots while striving to provide a fresh perspective on our cherished whiskeys and American Whiskey overall.”
Each Angel’s Envy 2024 Cask Strength bottle will feature a sophisticated design with embossed wings, gold foil labels and an engraved cork metal medallion.
Angel’s Envy’s award-winning Cask Strength program is a longstanding tradition for the team where, each year, barrels from its rickhouses are hand-selected for an extended finishing process. This particular aging process imparts distinct characteristics to each release, resulting in a unique nose, palate, and finish. In addition to the Cask Strength Bourbon, last year, the program debuted the first-ever Cask Strength Rye.
Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels will have 23,196 bottles available for purchase nationwide in the U.S. beginning in December for $229.99. Consumers can also purchase Angel’s Envy 2024 Cask Strength Bourbon at the distillery in downtown Louisville beginning tomorrow (Nov. 21) at 9am ET, where Martin will be on-site to sign bottles.
