Unique Characteristics
What sets this edition apart is its depth of flavour. It offers a complex palate that spins the standard Angel’s Envy formula on its head. The standard bottling usually presents wood first, followed by the raisiny sweetness. However, in this cask strength version, it’s sugar first, then wood.
