If you’ve spent more than five minutes around bourbon nerds (or just survived one of their rants), you’ll recognize the magic words on this bottle: Cask Strength Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon. And yes, it’s exactly as dramatic as it sounds. No water was harmed in the making of this whiskey—just some clever mingling of casks that dipped below and soared above 100 proof until, through some whiskey wizardry, they landed right on that Bottled-in-Bond sweet spot of 100 proof.

You know that feeling when you put on a tuxedo, but it’s somehow made of velvet, confidence, and a dash of danger? That’s what Angel’s Envy Bottled-in-Bond tastes like. This isn’t your typical Angel’s Envy doing its fancy wine-cask thing — no, this is the version that put down the French beret and picked up a Louisville Slugger. It’s traditional, it’s uncut, and it’s smoother than a pickup line whispered by a jazz saxophone.

Nose: Imagine sweet oak, brown sugar, and caramel having a polite conversation while someone in the background is stewing fruit and melting chocolate. There’s a floral note that flirts with your nose, and a whiff of cola that makes you nostalgic for simpler times… like last Tuesday.

Palate: Velvety? Oh yeah. This bourbon practically gives your tongue a weighted blanket. You’ll taste chocolate—lots of it—like Willy Wonka decided to open a speakeasy. There’s nougat, toasted marshmallow, a touch of citrus, and a hint of peanuts that feels oddly sophisticated. Think dessert tray at a billionaire’s barbecue.

Finish: Long, warm, and just the right amount of cocky. The smoke, oak, and tobacco hang around like the cool guy who knows he should leave the party but wants one more story. A peppery kiss on the way out, just to remind you who’s boss.

Overall: Angel’s Envy Bottled-in-Bond is what happens when a rebel puts on a suit. It’s elegant but still knows how to throw a punch. Fans of the brand will be pleasantly surprised
