JCwhammie Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Not likely. It might be collectible to folks that are big fans of AE, but I can't imagine it'll be a must have for many people. If you're asking if there will be a big secondary market bump for it I'd say no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Bourbon is not meant to be a collectible. It is meant to be consumed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really worth it. will it be collectible I can't imagine any bourbon worth $350. I also can't imagine any bourbon being a collectible. I can't imagine anything by Angels Envy being worth anything more than $50 unless it is Cask Strength and then I might go $75. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I looked it up. Suggested retail price given by Angel's Envy was $229 (which I would still never pay). It's some whiskey they source, then aged for a year in a Madiera cask. I say go to a shop with a decent wine selection. Buy some Madiera. See how you like it. If you think it's good, mix a little into a decent mid shelf bourbon. Maybe let it mingle a week or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I have to give credit. Wade presented the idea here of adding I believe half an ounce of fortified wine to 750ml of whiskey to reproduce effect of wine barrel finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwg13013 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Marketing ploys work, because people flock to them. Say it is limited, and gotta have it. No thanks, I'm not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
