Angel's Envy Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a limited-edition annual release crafted by Master Distiller Owen Martin at the Louisville Distilling Co. in Louisville, Kentucky. This 12th Edition is bottled at 118.2-proof (59.1% ABV) without dilution directly from hand-selected port wine barrels, representing bourbon in its most unadulterated form.

The barrels are aged from 5 to 9 years in charred new white oak before undergoing Angel's Envy signature extended finishing process in port wine barrels. This dual-aging approach creates a richly layered flavor profile that distinguishes the Cask Strength from standard expressions. The bottle itself is a collectible piece, featuring embossed wings on the face, gold foil labels, and an engraved cork metal medallion.

On the nose, expect brandied cherries and rich port alongside vanilla and cocoa powder with red fruit, opening into an almost cherry cola aroma. The palate delivers hints of sassafras where rounded fruit meets earthy grains, with vanilla caramels and creamy marshmallow tempering the heat with a dessert-like quality. The finish opens with traditional spices giving way to mint and orange oil, with oak tannins leading to a long, lingering red wine finish.
