This is super approachable with light caramel, summer fruits and lightly toasted oak bringing up the rear. Let this pour roam every nook and cranny of your mouth to pick up subtle cinnamon and buttery pound cake.
This bonded bourbon dazzles with fruit and spice and honey and a little pepper. It’s also surprisingly weighty and rich for only 100 proof, and it’s well balanced. Its complexity outdoes many of its peers’ and would shame many older bourbons.
Any whiskey fan would love this: something that’s a little off Michter’s bulletproof whiskey flavor profiles; a serendipitous and delicious innovation.
This is a super unique whiskey that pushes and pulls your memory of American single malts–even those from Scotland–to and fro in an attempt to align and describe them. But broadly speaking of whiskies in general, this is its own animal.
Just another great release from Hard Truth. That this distillery, without any bourbon heritage or family distiller history just keeps on cranking out great bottle after great bottle never ceases to amaze.
Everything that’s good about Heaven Hill bourbon is in this bottle: caramel, honey, cooked apples, vanilla taffy, sharp spice and toasted oak.

Precision and intent is what master distiller Owen Martin has brought to Angel’s Envy whiskies. Over the past few years, he’s refined, sharpened and made them uniform in ways that yield them predictably delicious.
This wood and barrel toast strategy drives powerful flavors and aromas. The nose is surprisingly vibrant for its 107 proof. The whiskeys’ 9 to 10 year age range emboldens the nose considerably with bruleed sugar, warm brownies, charred oak and overripe apples.
