Angels Envy EL Cerrito Liquor Store pick Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels

55% ABV (110 Proof)

we’re excited to be able to offer a hand-selected single barrel of their Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Casks. Clocking in at 55% ABV or 110 proof this is sure to be a delight!

This Bourbon will benefit from some breathing time. As it stands, it’s a solid pour but with a little bit of air, it will drastically improve!  

Appearance: In the glass, the whiskey presents a nice amber colour, with a slight lean into gold.

Nose: The aroma of this whiskey has lots of shortbread cookies, and fluffy pastry (think a croissant). As well as slight notes of orange marmalade giving way to brown butter. There is a slight note of candy corn as well, but that’s on the tail end of the aroma.

Palate: For 55% ABV this is a very approachable dram. The front of the palate has lots of brown sugar and custard. Following that, we get stewed fruits like cherries and oranges. Some vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak flesh out the mid-palate with hints of milk chocolate. On the back palate and finish you get lots of leather and tobacco
