Drink: Angel’s Envy is releasing fewer than 8,000 bottles of their award winning Cask Strength this year making it a bit more difficult to get your hands on a bottle. It comes in the the highest proof they’ve produced at 127.9. Below are some tasting notes from the distiller.

Appearance: Rich gold with an amber depth.
Nose: Heavy caramel with vanilla up front, followed by roasted almonds, orange peel citrus and faint blueberry.
Palate: Pound cake, root beer, candy corn, honey, then tart strawberries, blackberries, figs, slight black pepper on the finish.
Finish: Less port forward than previous years, but while the port finish is distinct, the bourbon itself shines through the finish.
