Welcome to Day 5 of the 12 Drinks of Christmas. If you are celebrating Hanukkah tonight, this is day 4 and you are lighting 4 candles. Whether you are having a large group for dinner or dessert, or it’s a small group of 3 or 4, it’s the perfect opportunity to mix up a cocktail punch! This is served in a punch bowl and it will serve a crowd which makes it easier for you if you are hosting Christmas or Hanukkah dinner tonight! And if you have a smaller group, you can pour the extra into a bottle to keep in your refrigerator for enjoyment over the next few days!
So let’s get this party started with Angel’s Envy Whiskey.
Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
SRP: $49.99
Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon is finished in port wine casks for an award-winning spirit. We guide each batch’s conditioning, blending our handcrafted bourbon in small batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time.
Once it’s deemed ready, we finish our bourbon in ruby port wine casks, which adds subtly distinct flavor nuances that enhance the whiskey without challenging it. Our port finishing process lasts between three to six months, depending on taste.
Angel’s Envy Rye
SRP: $89.99
Angel’s Envy Rye is finished in Rum Barrels and is genuinely unique and worthy of Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson’s legacy.
The taste profile of rye whiskey was a perfect fit for a rum cask finish. After sampling over 100 rums to find the right flavor to complement rye whiskey, the team’s decision was unanimous.
Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey– 2019 Cask Strength
SRP: $199.99
Ranked the “Best Spirit in the World” by Spirit Journal in 2013, Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon Finished in Port Barrels is unlike any whiskey you’ve ever tried.
This year, Angel’s Envy released a very limited number of bottles – just over 14,000. The brand judges only a handful of barrels exceptional enough for our lengthy finishing process.
Even at 122.4 proof, every sip is worth savoring. A remarkably complex spirit, the team suggests you enjoy it neat or with just a splash of water to release the flavor nuances, and perhaps with a few friends who appreciate outstanding whiskey.
This brand has provided me with 3 different recipes for a cocktail punch!
Here’s the specifically winter cocktail!
