Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bourbon 2023

2023. Cask Strength. Port Barrel Finish. Angel’s Envy — the 2023 annual release of Angel’s Envy’s limited cask strength program, presenting Kentucky straight bourbon finished in Ruby Port barrels at natural cask proof, following the port barrel finishing philosophy that Lincoln Henderson established when founding the brand.

Angel’s Envy Cask Strength is released once annually in strictly limited quantities — the only cask strength expression in the Angel’s Envy lineup, distinguishing it from the standard 43.3% ABV expression that uses the same port barrel finishing approach at a lower proof. At natural cask strength, the port barrel’s dried cherry, plum, and tannin character integrates more intensely with the bourbon’s vanilla and spice base.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does the 2023 Cask Strength compare to the 2019 and 2018 vintages also in stock? All three are annual port barrel finished cask strength expressions from the same program. Each vintage carries its own natural proof reflecting that year’s barrel selection. The older vintages carry secondary market age premium; the 2023 is the most current release.
• What makes cask strength Angel’s Envy different from the standard expression? The standard Angel’s Envy is bottled at 43.3% ABV after port barrel finishing. The cask strength is bottled at natural barrel proof — typically 120–130 proof — producing more intense port barrel integration and bourbon concentration.
