A New Permanent Addition to the Line

Angel’s Envy Triple Oak is the brand’s first new permanent addition to its line up in over a decade! Triple Oak is a blend of bourbons finished in three types of barrels sourced globally: Hungarian Oak from Hungary, Chinkapin (also known as Chinquapin) Oak from Kentucky, and French Oak from France. It’s a bit of switch for the brand because this is their first finished bourbon that is not finished using a wine or spirits cask.

The Perfect Blend Ratio

According to the brand, Master Distiller Owen Martin and the production team experimented with various blend ratios of the three oak-finished bourbons to create Angel’s Envy Triple Oak. The French Oak brings the strongest flavor of the different oak barrels, providing hints of baking spices, chocolate, and cinnamon. It is complemented by the Chinkapin Oak, which adds notes of caramel, vanilla, and a rich coffee layer. The Hungarian Oak balances the three barrels, providing nuance and depth while uniting the finishes into one dynamic taste. The three unique finishes are said to blend together to achieve a balanced flavor profile. Let’s find out!

Tasting Notes – Angel’s Envy Triple Oak Review

Let’s taste it:

🛏 Rested for 15 minutes in a Glencairn

👉🏻Nose: Sweet cherries and pears, light sweet buttery caramel and honey; hints of rye bread; spicy dry oak; alcohol vapor appropriate for the proof
👉🏻Taste: Fairly sweet at first, with cherries, light caramel, honey & simple syrup; dry spicy oak; fairly rapidly developing black pepper spice
👉🏻Finish: Growing black pepper spice; increasingly dry; mild lingering simple syrup and dark cherries; barrel char and spicy dry oak; long with a moderate warmth

The nose is fairly sweet, with cherries and pears, as well as light honey and caramel. It has a dry oaky spiciness to it, which I am assuming is coming from the French and Chinkapin oaks. However, I am less familiar with Hungarian oak, so am not exactly sure what characteristics to look for. In addition, and a bit to my surprise, I get hints of rye bread. The alcohol vapor is appropriate for Angel’s Envy Triple Oak’s 92 proof.

The taste also begins fairly sweet, with cherries, as well as light caramel, honey and simple syrup. There is the spicy dry oak in the background, as well. In addition, black pepper spice and dryness develop fairly rapidly, and increase throughout the long finish. Also, as times goes on, there is more noticeable and lingering barrel char, with continuing dry spicy oak and black pepper. Interestingly, a mild lingering simple syrup sweetness persists well into the finish, along with hints of dark cherries. The finish is long with a pleasant warmth.

The Interaction of Oak & Bourbon

I am very much enjoying how the different types of oak are interacting with the fairly sweet bourbon. The spiciness they contribute provides a very nice contrast to the sweetness and fruit, creating quite a complex pour. It would be very interesting to taste the bourbon finished in each of the three different types of oak individually. That would enable me to appreciate each type of oak’s individual contribution to the overall flavor profile. Maybe Angel’s Envy will offer that experience at the distillery? I would definitely sign up!

Conclusion – Angel’s Envy Triple Oak Review

Angel’s Envy’s recent bourbon releases, the Bottled In Bond and the Triple Oak, have both deviated from the brand’s traditional wine and spirit finishes. While I enjoy those other finished whiskeys, I do like this change in direction for the distillery. If you enjoy a bourbon with sweeter characteristics complemented by oak spices, then you’ll want to give the Angel’s Envy Triple Oak a try!
