While we lose about 5% of the spirit each year to evaporation, or “the Angel’s Share,” what’s left behind after we’re done is truly worthy of envy. Once it’s deemed ready, we finish our bourbon in ruby port wine casks, which adds subtly distinct flavor nuances that enhance the whiskey without challenging it. Our port finishing process lasts between three to six months, depending on taste. We use 60-gallon ruby port barrels made from French oak and imported directly from Portugal. This creates a whiskey of unprecedented smoothness, sweetness and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAngel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNose:\u003c\/b\u003e Oak, dried berries, raisins, peanuts and baking spices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e Raisiny dark fruit, cocoa, peanuts, spice, oak and fruity candy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium, peanuts, raisins and oak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDistillery Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAngel’s Envy is a hand crafted, small batch whiskey produced by Louisville Distilling Company, a subsidiary of Bacardi Limited. Rooted in 200 years of bourbon heritage, we create hand-finished spirits that aren’t afraid to improve on the classic tradition. Inspired by legendary Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson’s lifetime spent crafting fine spirits, Angel’s Envy is our masterpiece. The 5% of spirit lost each year during barrel aging is called the “Angel’s Share.” After tasting our finished whiskey, Lincoln joked that we’d finally gotten a better deal than the angels, and so Angel’s Envy was born.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"SINGLE(S)","offer_id":34498183037066,"sku":"","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BUY A CASE (6)","offer_id":42561080950922,"sku":"","price":469.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/angel_s-envy-kentucky-straight-bourbon-1_1.jpg?v=1556477584"},{"product_id":"blue-spot-single-pot-still-irish-whiskey","title":"Blue Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhiskey: Blue Spot Single Pot Still Irish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistilled at the Midleton distillery in County Cork, Ireland, this whiskey is bottled at 118.4 proof (59.2% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMany other small liquor store sites will end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.
