Flavor Profile Differences
Proof and heat dominate the difference.
- Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #014 8 Year Double Oak: Eight-year MGP bourbon given a second stint in toasted barrels. It is dense and dessert-like, with molasses, dark chocolate and coffee over heavy oak at well over 120 proof.
- 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.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #014 8 Year Double Oak if you want a dense, double-oaked, dessert-like bourbon at high proof.
- Go with Angel’s Envy if you want an overtly fruity, port-finished bourbon that breaks from the traditional profile on purpose at a lower price point.
