Experience a groundbreaking release from one of Kentucky's most innovative distilleries. The Angel's Envy Bottled-In-Bond Cask Strength Bourbon Red Wax Limited Edition defies convention by achieving the strict, legal 100-proof standard of a Bottled-in-Bond whiskey entirely through a masterful cask-strength blending process, without the addition of a single drop of water. This highly sought-after release also marks a historic milestone for Angel's Envy as their first-ever "unfinished" whiskey, allowing the pure, unadulterated character of their Kentucky Straight Bourbon to take center stage without their signature port barrel finish.
Crafted under the meticulous guidance of Master Distiller Owen Martin, this release was achieved by ingeniously mingling 27 barrels filled at a low 103 proof with two barrels filled at 125 proof. The exact resulting blend perfectly hit the 100-proof (50% ABV) requirement. Aged for nearly six years in new charred American oak, this rare red-wax bottle is a stunning testament to blending mastery and traditional craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes
Nose: An inviting bouquet of lightly caramelized sugars and vanilla wafers, complemented by a delicate hint of banana pudding.
Palate: Incredibly sweet, balanced, and viscous. Rich notes of a honey latte and light fruit syrup are beautifully grounded by layers of toasted American oak.
Finish: Exceptionally rounded and soft. The warm, mellow oak and gentle spice slowly fade, leaving a satisfying finish with zero residual heat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can a bourbon be both Cask Strength and Bottled-in-Bond? To be legally Bottled-in-Bond, a whiskey must be exactly 100 proof. Typically, distilleries add water to achieve this. Angel's Envy achieved this rare "Cask Strength" Bottled-in-Bond designation by mathematically blending specific barrels—27 barrels at 103 proof and 2 at 125 proof—so the final, uncut mixture perfectly equated to exactly 100 proof without any water dilution.
Is this Angel's Envy finished in Port Wine barrels? No. In a historic first for the brand, this is an "unfinished" whiskey. It was aged for nearly six years in new charred American white oak, allowing collectors to experience the pure, foundational bourbon profile of Angel's Envy before any secondary cask finishing is applied.
What is the proof of this limited release? Following strict Bottled-in-Bond regulations, this expression is bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV).
