Angel’s Envy vs Blanton’s: What’s the Difference?

by

Updated March 2026.

These are two Kentucky bourbons with different extra steps. Blanton’s Original is 93 proof (46.5%) and Mash Bill #2 on the Buffalo Trace page — a single-barrel SKU. Angel’s Envy flagship is a port-finished bourbon from a different company. 86.6 proof / 43.3% is retailer and 2021 PR consensus; the brand page omitted ABV this project. A 1.5-ounce pour is 1.16 drinks at 46.5% and about 1.08 at 43.3%.
