Angel’s Envy Triple Oak is an elegant, oak-finished Kentucky bourbon poured at Grappa in Queen Anne, Seattle, prized for its layered, dessert-like complexity.

About the Distillery

Angel’s Envy was founded in Louisville, Kentucky, by the late master distiller Lincoln Henderson and his family, and built its reputation on finishing bourbon in secondary casks. The brand’s home distillery sits along Louisville’s Whiskey Row. Triple Oak is part of the Angel’s Envy Signature Series, an expression that extends the house’s signature interest in wood-driven flavor.

Style & Mash Bill

Triple Oak is a Kentucky straight bourbon first matured in charred American oak, then finished in a combination of three additional oak types: Hungarian, Chinkapin, and French oak. Each wood contributes its own character, French oak lending baking spice and chocolate, Chinkapin oak adding caramel and a coffee note, and Hungarian oak uniting the whole into balance. The producer characterizes this as a finishing process rather than publishing exact grain proportions, so we describe the mash bill qualitatively rather than as a defined high-rye or wheated recipe. [FLAG: exact grain mash bill not officially disclosed; characterized here by its triple-oak finishing.]

Tasting Notes

The nose carries ripe apricot, toasted oak, and honeysuckle. On the palate, expect baking spice, vanilla custard, brioche, and a hint of chocolate from the layered oak finishing. The finish is warm and spiced, with lingering caramel and toasted wood.

What to Pair It With

Its baking-spice and chocolate notes are lovely with our flourless chocolate cake, while the richness of our American Wagyu steaks meets the bourbon’s oak with ease. A charcuterie board rounds it out nicely. See the full dine-in menu for more.
