On the palate, we're told to expect black pepper, toasted nuts, clove and delicate cinnamon spice are present, along with a hint of dried apricot.
On the nose, the distillery offers tasting notes of dry fruit and oak.
The finish is said to be light and lingering, reminiscent of dried fruit dipped in dark chocolate.
Angel's Envy has now released the second bourbon in its Cellar Collection.It's a 10 year old bourbon(the oldest bourbon the distiller has ever made av ailable for sale)finished for 10 months in tawny Port wine barrels.A polished mahogany in color.The nose is an impressive perfume of red fruit, deep oak, and creme brulee.And this does not really hit the nose like it's a 55.% ABV bourbon.It is softer and much more inviting than one might expect.Rushes of floral notes immediately, and a lot of juicy red fruit.I tasted cinnamon prominently, as well as pepper and rich vanilla.The spice notes struck me as a phenomenal addition to the palate.The finish of this expression took me into another territory.I experienced plum, dates, and a bitter nuttiness (think walnuts, acorns, chestnuts) on the finish.
