- ANGEL'S ENVY - KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON (205144)
98 Points, Wine Enthusiast: "A beautiful, mouthwatering newcomer to the whiskey scene. Named for the "angel's share," the portion that evaporates from the barrel during the aging process, this golden amber spirit is finished in Port barrels, which explains those juicy red-fruit notes that slide into the long finish. Look for orange peel, vanilla and roasted nut flavors, too."
$79.99. - ANGEL'S ENVY - RYE (449585)
Angel's Envy spends up to 18 months finishing in Caribbean rum casks, resulting in an immensely complex whiskey. The mingling of raw, spicy and earthy rye with the mellow sweetness of rum finishing creates an incomparably smooth and drinkable whiskey, even at 100 proof.
$99.99. - Angels Envy Straight Bourbon Cask (312012)
With a burnished amber hue, the blend of Ruby and Tawny Port barrels bring a nuanced flavor profile that can be enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube.
NOSE: Caramelized notes of brown sugar and butterscotch open up into stone fruit, pear, and spice. PALATE: Crisp apple crumble and buttery pie crust balance darker notes of chocolate, oak, and cinnamon honey. Both nutty and floral. FINISH: Pleasant and long. Oak tannins mingle with rich port and bright fruits to deliver a sweet and spiced finale.
New product launch - Available in January
Meet your speaker: Owen Martin
Owen Martin's bio reads like a Tale of Two Whiskies. Throughout his career he's repeatedly crossed the pond, both physically and in whiskey making tradition. When brewing first piqued his interest, the desire to join the industry led him to Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland where their Master’s program brought him, instead, into a career in distilling. Since then, he's balanced his time between single malt and American whiskey traditions, while remaining steadfast in tinkering, optimizing and continuing to push the boundaries of whiskey. This breadth of experience has given Martin a broad view and a nuanced understanding of methods of distillation and fermentation, the influence of wood, and various maturation environments. He’s most interested and adept, however, at exploring how finishing and blending can create new experiences all together.
As Master Distiller, Martin leads all aspects of production and oversees innovation for Angel's Envy, including its annual Cask Strength program, single barrel program and limited release Cellar collections Series while upholding the quality standard of Angel’s Envy across all expressions. He's passionate about experimentation and exploration and is happiest on a deep dive: nerding out on the details, testing and learning, and jumping into the rick house to find hidden gems amongst the barrels.
For Owen Martin, “Creating whiskey at Angel’s Envy means examining an extremely heritagerich category through unexpected lenses to see what new ideas open up.
