A decade in the making, Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength, crafted under Master Distiller Owen Martin, debuts nationwide on October 10. The date brings the brand's story full circle, as October 2010 was originally intended for Angel's Envy's launch, marking a milestone in its legacy of craftsmanship.
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel's Envy is proud to announce the debut of Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength, the distillery's first-ever age-stated release. Launching nationwide on October 10, this limited-edition whiskey is crafted with a cumulative aging time of 10 years in new American oak and port wine barrels, representing a landmark moment for the brand, delivering an unparalleled depth of flavor and complexity.
The October 10 release date carries special significance. Originally planned as the launch month for Angel's Envy in October 2010, founder Lincoln Henderson chose to delay the debut until the whiskey met his uncompromising standards. The release of Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength on this date brings that history full circle, paying tribute to its origins while underscoring the team's unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and excellence.
Bottled at 122.6 proof, this expression is one of the brand's most robust releases to date, offering both character and refined elegance. Developed under the expertise of Master Distiller Owen Martin, Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength showcases the precision and expertise that defines his approach to whiskey making. Martin personally guided every stage of the expression, ensuring it reflects the balance of tradition and innovation at the heart of Angel's Envy.
"Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength represents more than just a decade of aging — it embodies the dedication, precision, and passion that our team pours into every bottle," shares Owen Martin, Master Distiller at Angel's Envy. "I'm incredibly proud of how this expression pushes the boundaries of what we've achieved with our cask releases, using a deft touch to balance a refined port character at a bold cask strength. It's a milestone that reflects both our journey and the artistry that goes into every step of crafting a whiskey worth savoring."
Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength opens with aromas of sweet cinnamon toast and creamy fruit nougat layered over candied nuts. The palate reveals rich notes of baklava, followed by ripe apricot, crème brûlée, and cognac, accented with a subtle hint of grains of paradise. The port barrels influence shines through on the finish, delivering indulgent notes of rum raisin cake. This layered profile showcases the harmony of bold proof and nuanced flavor that defines the artistry of Angel's Envy.
With only 24,480 bottles available nationwide, Angel's Envy 10 Cask Strength stands as a rare and highly collectible release. Beginning October 10, it will be offered in limited quantities at select U.S. retailers and at the Angel's Envy Distillery in Louisville, KY, for an SRP of $249.99 per 750ml bottle. A limited number of bottles will be available for purchase online at angelsenvy.com.
