Angel’s Envy Single Barrel Pick | A Christmas Day Bourbon Pour

Merry Christmas from Aussie Bourbon Lovers. For this special Christmas Day episode we crack open a gift bottle: an Angel’s Envy Whiskey Hunt Australia single barrel pick.

Angel’s Envy is famous for its port finished bourbon and it’s easy to find in Australia, but this one is different. It’s a single barrel pick chosen by the Whiskey Hunt team, and it arrives in a bottle that just feels made for gifting. We talk about why Angel’s Envy has become such a well known finished bourbon, why we love the novelty and sweetness of finished whiskey, and why barrel picks are one of the most fun ways to drink something familiar in a completely unique way.

Merry Christmas and cheers.
