Flavor Profile Differences
Sweetness is where these two part ways.
- Angel’s Envy: Finished in port barrels, which pushes it well away from the traditional bourbon template toward berry and raisin sweetness. Divisive among purists and extremely popular with everyone else.
- Yellowstone Select: A revived historic brand from Limestone Branch. Light and creamy, with toasted oak, vanilla and peach and a short, peppery finish. Part of the proceeds support Yellowstone National Park.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Angel’s Envy if you want an overtly fruity, port-finished bourbon that breaks from the traditional profile on purpose.
- Go with Yellowstone Select if you want a light, creamy everyday sipper with a historic name at a slightly lower price point and with slightly more proof behind it.
Best enjoyed neat, rocks (Angel’s Envy); rocks, highball, old-fashioned (Yellowstone Select).
