·7 min
This Whiskey Quickie episode from Bourbon Pursuit focuses on reviewing the Angel's Envy 10-year cask strength bourbon release. The hosts begin with a playful introduction referencing the movie 'Angels in the Outfield.' They provide key details: it's the 14th cask strength edition, with a mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, aged 10 years at 122.6 proof, and finished in port barrels for over a year. Approximately 25,000 bottles are released at a $250 SRP. The hosts mention Owen Martin as the master behind this release. They describe the packaging and nose, noting aromas of dates, raisins, and charred oak. The taste is compared to brown sugar reduced with stewed plums and grapes, evoking nostalgic pastries like wild berry Pop-Tarts and toaster strudels. A humorous digression occurs about childhood processed foods. The hosts then rate the bourbon, giving thumbs-up for nose, taste, and finish, praising its balance despite the high proof. They conclude the review and transition to a Patreon promotion for ad-free episodes. The episode is concise, under 10 minutes, blending technical details with personal tasting notes and light banter.
