Angel’s Envy Bourbon Whiskey Port Finish America’s 250th Anniversary Edition is a custom engraved 750ml bottle of Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Finished in Port Wine Barrels commemorating the United States’ semiquincentennial — the back features a patriotic engraved design with ‘250 Years,’ ‘America’s Anniversary,’ and ‘1776–2026,’ alongside stars, flag-inspired flowing lines, laurel branches, and an eagle crest, pairing one of America’s most distinctive port-finished bourbons with a collector’s 250th anniversary presentation.
Angel’s Envy is produced in Louisville, Kentucky by Louisville Distilling Company, founded by the late Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson — the industry veteran who helped develop Woodford Reserve and spent decades at Brown-Forman before founding Angel’s Envy with his son Wes. The port finish is the defining production element: Kentucky straight bourbon aged in new charred American oak is transferred to ruby port wine casks from Portugal for a finishing period that adds the dark fruit, raisins, maple sweetness, and wine-cask depth that distinguishes Angel’s Envy from standard bourbons. The result at 43.3% ABV (86.6 proof) is approachable and fruit-forward while maintaining bourbon structure — vanilla, oak, and spice beneath the port character. The commemorative engraving adds patriotic presentation to a bottle already recognized for its gift appeal.
Tasting Notes

Palate: Ripe fruit, vanilla, maple, bitter chocolate, and smooth oak — the port wine cask’s dark fruit character over the bourbon base
Finish: Clean and lingering — soft port sweetness and warm spice
