The genesis of the Angel’s Envy Cask Strength program hails back to 2012. If you can swing it, it’s worth knowing that you’re drinking an exclusive dram of history - the brand only released 240 bottles of this 40-year-old expression - so for god’s sake don’t muck it up by adding anything more than a single drop of water. This rare, limited-edition whiskey is truly special. The finish is mellowwwwwww, long, and ends with a final dose of sweet, buttery caramel.
#ORPHAN BARREL MUCKETY MUCK FULL#
(That oakiness is expected for how long this one is aged.) The sip is full of notes of leather, sticky toffee, raisins, almonds, creamy vanilla, and treacle. On the nose, you’ll find hints of the musty, ancient barrelhouse, rich almonds, dried cherries, and charred oak. This is where they’ve remained for the last 20 years, before finally being bottled by The Last Drop Distillers - which specializes in these sorts of releases. These memorable bottles might not be around for long (certainly not at these prices), so get them while you can. To help you out, we’re naming eight of our favorite recently released whiskeys across all styles. Some are just okay, plenty are solid, and a rare few are worth getting truly hyped about.
These days there’s a new bourbon, Scotch, or rye released every week, a mix of annual releases and limited-edition offerings. What better way to improve your palate and whiskey IQ?īesides, who doesn’t want to try something different from time to time? That’s why we suggest that between sipping on “ the usual suspects” you try a new release every now and then. While you can easily (and maybe even happily) spend the rest of your days drinking the same whisk(e)ys that have been readily available for decades, there’s a world beyond that classic black-labeled bottle of Jack Daniel’s, red wax-sealed Maker’s Mark, and poultry-adorned Wild Turkey.
