One from the late, great, Lincoln Henderson. Angel’s Envy is named in reference to the some 5% of booze lost each year due to evaporation, known as the Angel’s share. The beautifully packaged bourbon is finished in ruby port barrels for three to six months. It has lots of green apple and hints of maple on the nose. From the fist sip, I got fruit, mainly apples and raisins, followed by a dash of vanilla on the tongue. The finish is quite clean with a medium to long linger, and left a sliver of dark chocolate flavor. Overall, I don’t know if it is “the world’s finest bourbon” as some publications have stated, but a solid one at that, a must have for the collection.
