Thank you Vesper Bar | Tapas! Here's Season 2 of "But First... Whiskey"

Our featured Whiskey today is Angels Envy!

Here’s some little known facts from my friends over at Angels Envy!

10/10: 
A little-known fact about Angel’s Envy: all of our corks are stamped with the date 10/10—the month and year our whiskey was supposed to be released. When 10/10 actually rolled around, Lincoln Henderson didn’t think Angel’s Envy was ready yet. So, we waited another six months until it was perfect. Naturally, a lot of people were less than thrilled by that decision. But Lincoln wasn’t willing to release a lesser whiskey into the world. For Lincoln, nothing short of perfection was acceptable. After a 40-year career spent crafting whiskeys, it just wasn’t in Lincoln’s nature to stop short. Sure, we could have updated our corks at some point, but we’ve kept the 10/10 as a reminder that Lincoln was never satisfied with “good enough.” Good whiskey is always worth waiting for, and we never want to forget that.

Our Finish: 
We personally taste every barrel throughout each step of the aging process to ensure that the spirits meet our perfectionist standards. This would be enough for any other premium bourbon, but we think you deserve more. That’s why we finish every one of our whiskeys in hand-selected finishing barrels. For an added layer of flavor and complexity, our bourbon and special cask strength are finished in ruby port casks, and our rye is finished in rum barrels. There’s no set time for this process.

Toast the Trees: 
Every September (Bourbon Heritage month) since 2014, we have been toasting the trees! What that means: According to U.S. law, bourbon must be aged in new charred oak barrels—specifically, White Oak barrels. There’s a bit of an elephant in the room though… because if we all don’t get more sustainable, future generations may not have any White Oak trees left to make bourbon from. Making sure that doesn’t happen starts with planting more White Oaks—and were committed to doing so. Every time you use #ToastTheTrees with an Angel's Envy cocktail or bottle shot this month, we’re planting a new tree – and aiming to plant 65,000! There are other ways to get involved (including a giveaway for an eco-friendly treehouse getaway from us) and you can learn more about it all here: https://www.angelsenvy.com/toast-the-trees/
