This latest release from the Louisville, Kentucky based distiller, will be rolling out this month to selected bars and restaurants across the UK.

Commenting on the news, Jay Needham, Angel's Envy Marketing Director, said: "We've seen an appetite for high-end American whiskey internationally, particularly in influential cocktail markets like London, Sydney, Montreal and Singapore. The emphasis Angel's Envy places on finishing – similar to what some in these areas are more accustomed to seeing from Scotch – gives our bourbon a complex taste profile that uniquely positions us to become the choice American whiskey in these markets for mixing into high-end cocktails or enjoying neat."

Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Finished in Port Wine Barrels, will also roll out later this year in Singapore, Canada, Australia, Italy, France, Germany and Dubai.
