Angel's Envy Port-Finished Bourbon Engraved Happy New Year Gift Edition pairs the brand's signature port wine barrel-finished Kentucky straight bourbon with a custom Happy New Year engraving — a ready-to-give gift bottle at 86.6 proof.
Angel's Envy is produced in Louisville, Kentucky by Louisville Distilling Company, founded by the late Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson, who helped develop Woodford Reserve across decades at Brown-Forman before founding Angel's Envy with his son Wes. The defining production element is the port finish: Kentucky straight bourbon aged in new charred American oak is transferred to ruby port wine casks from Portugal, adding the dark fruit, raisins, maple sweetness, and wine-cask depth that set Angel's Envy apart. At 43.3% ABV (86.6 proof) it's approachable and fruit-forward over a classic bourbon structure. This edition adds a custom Happy New Year engraving for a celebratory gift presentation.
