Angel’s Envy is a highly regarded Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey known for its unique finishing process in Japanese Mizunara Oak casks. The whiskey starts as a traditional bourbon, aged in new charred American oak barrels. However, what sets Angel’s Envy apart is its additional aging in these rare Mizunara Oak casks, which impart distinctive flavors and aromas to the whiskey.
Mizunara Oak is prized for its porous nature and unique flavor profile, which includes notes of sandalwood, coconut, and a hint of oriental spices. This finishing process adds depth and complexity to the bourbon, elevating its character beyond traditional expressions.
Angel’s Envy Bourbon Finished in Japanese Mizunara Casks is produced by Louisville Distilling Company, which was founded by the late master distiller Lincoln Henderson and is now managed by his sons. The brand has gained a strong following among whiskey enthusiasts for its craftsmanship and innovative approach to bourbon making.
Tony Zeller –
I bought a bottle as a gift, thinking this would be fast and/or convenient. They didn’t technically misrepresent anything, but order fulfillment up to 5 days is disappointing, especially for a website. It would have been faster and cheaper to buy and wrap/ship the bottle myself. Shipping + gift wrapping cost me as much as the wine. I didn’t feel it was worth it.
