Angels Envy Friday the 13th Surprise: Triple Oak Bourbon
Today Angel’s Envy, the bourbon company that made secondary maturation a fixture in the industry, has added their first regular brand extension in a decade with Angel’s Envy Triple Oak. In review, the only two regular expressions from Angel’s Envy are their flagship ruby Port-finished bourbon and their rum-finished rye whiskey.
Angel’s Envy Triple Oak is a blend of whiskeys finished in three types of barrels sourced globally: Hungarian Oak from Hungary, Chinkapin Oak from Kentucky, and French Oak from France. Staying true to the brand’s highly acclaimed finishing process, it strives to change expectations with a non-spirits finish.
“I’m thrilled we are making a mark on the brand’s Signature Series with Angel’s Envy Triple Oak,” says Owen Martin, Angel’s Envy Master Distiller. “When I joined the team, we aimed to craft something unique to round out our portfolio. With the oak barrel finishing, we carefully selected barrels that complement each other beautifully. The result is a must-have addition for bourbon drinkers, whether they’re new to the category or consider themselves aficionados.”
Owen and the production team experimented with various blend ratios of the three oak-finished bourbons to create Angel’s Envy Triple Oak. The French Oak brings the strongest flavor of the different oak barrels, providing hints of baking spices, chocolate, and cinnamon. It is complemented by the Chinkapin Oak, a seasoned local Kentucky Oak, which adds notes of caramel, vanilla, and a rich coffee layer. The Hungarian Oak balances the three barrels, providing nuance and depth while uniting the finishes into one dynamic taste. The three unique finishes blend together to achieve a balanced flavor profile.
Angel’s Envy Triple Oak (92-proof; 46% ABV) will be available for purchase nationwide in the U.S., and on angelsenvy.com (for delivery in select markets) beginning October 1 at a suggested retail price of $74.99
