Angels Envy Bourbon 43.3% 70cl
£67.95
An interesting bourbon with a unique twist - after the initial maturation, it takes a leaf out of Scotch Whisky's book and spends between 3 and 6 months finishing in port barrels. The more experimentation the better - especially when it turns out something like this - marrying the sweet caramel and grain of bourbon with the rich sticky wine flavours of a port cask. The combination of the vanilla rich Bourbon and the sweet, sticky Port notes is a winning combination.
Tasting notes from the producers:
Nose: Subtle vanilla, raisins, maple syrup and toasted nuts
Palate: Vanilla, ripe fruit, maple syrup, toast and bitter chocolate
Finish: Clean and lingering sweetness with a hint of Madeira that slowly fades.
