I toured Angel's Envy in late May and one of the samples in the tasting at the end was the BIB. It was our favorite pour of all that we sampled that day. I'm fortunate enough to have a son who lives in Louisville and got me a bottle from the distillery as a Father's Day present. I love your videos, they are not the standard Bourbon channel videos and I like and appreciate that.
It’s a great tour. And that BIB is no joke, super good. You’re a lucky guy, that means you have a place to stay too! Thank you for watching and I’m glad we can make something a little different and hopefully tell some good stories. Our whole whiskey journey really revolves around our dad and it’s given us a little group of 6 guys that drink bourbon and a sense of community.
I understand what your dad meant when talking about finished whiskeys. Distillate pulling flavors from wood is what a whiskey/bourbon is traditionally because if the barrel was used, say, to age tequila or a wine, then the distillate put into that barrel is not only pulling flavors from the wood, but also left over tequila or wine as well, or at least their flavor compounds that were left behind depending if the barrel is wet or dry. Only thing is toasting, charring, and using different wood should still be looked as traditional whiskey because it's still distillate pulling from wood and the flavors and compounds it has to offer. Still, I love finished whiskeys and still see them as bourbon personally because to me, as long as the whiskey clearly shines through, it's about natural taste and experience and that can only be built upon with innovation
I totally agree with you here. At first glance it’s hard to not see it as bourbon since I do, but it’s really a bourbon with a small caveat, which is a good thing. There’s so much negative connotation with finished whiskey due to its history pre-prohibition, pre bottled in bond. But now, we are starting with great bourbon and doing really cool finishes that enhance rather than cover. Fun discussion to have! I love the nuances in whiskey styles and techniques.
Loved hearing him discuss the processes and how much thought goes into this whiskey. BTW…Angels Envy is still my favorite cask strength whiskey of all time. The flavors involved in it just blend perfectly. 🥃
Thanks for watching! It’s so good. I really enjoy their standard flagship bottle. Owen brings an exciting expertise and new energy to a great brand. Excited to see everything he comes up with for them.
