An Angel's Envy whiskey tasting in Point Loma, Thursday June 18 from 6-8 PM. Premium whiskey pours, paired bites, and an engraved bottle of Angel's Envy bourbon for Dad to take home.

Overview

Angel's Envy is hosting a Father's Day whiskey tasting on Thursday, June 18, 2026 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at a waterfront Point Loma location — a curated 2-hour experience with premium whiskey pours, paired food, and a custom-engraved bottle of Angel's Envy bourbon for Dad to take home. It's the elevated, give-as-a-gift option for Father's Day weekend in San Diego.

If your dad appreciates the slow burn over the spectacle, this is the move.

What You Actually Need to Know

  • Date: Thursday, June 18, 2026
  • Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
  • Where: Waterfront location in Point Loma, San Diego, CA
  • What's included: Whiskey tasting, food pairings, engraved bottle to take home
  • Format: 2-hour, intimate, curated
  • Tickets: Available via San Diego Visitors Bureau event listing

What's Included

The 2-hour Father's Day experience is built around three pillars:

1. Premium Angel's Envy whiskey pours

Sample a curated selection of Angel's Envy expressions, from their signature bourbon finished in Port wine barrels to their rye finished in Caribbean rum casks and limited-release offerings.

2. Curated dishes paired with each pour

Each whiskey course is paired with a complementary dish designed to elevate the tasting experience. Think rich proteins, refined sides, and dessert pairings designed to bring out the whiskey's vanilla, oak, and caramel notes.

3. A custom-engraved bottle of Angel's Envy bourbon to take home

The keepsake of the night. Dad walks away with a personalized bottle bearing an engraving — making this as much a gift as a meal.

When and Where

Thursday, June 18, 2026 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM

Location: Waterfront venue in Point Loma, San Diego, CA (exact address provided upon booking)

The location is on the Point Loma waterfront — meaning the entire 2-hour experience comes with bay views, ocean breeze, and the kind of magic-hour lighting that makes a tasting feel ceremonial.

About Angel's Envy

Angel's Envy is one of modern American whiskey's most respected craft producers, founded by master distiller Lincoln Henderson — also the architect of Woodford Reserve and Gentleman Jack. The distillery is known for its secondary barrel finishing approach: a Kentucky bourbon aged first in new American oak, then finished in Port wine barrels imported from Portugal. The result is a smoother, sweeter, more complex whiskey than traditional Kentucky bourbon.

The brand has expanded its lineup to include:

  • Angel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Port wine barrel finished) — the signature
  • Angel's Envy Rye (Caribbean rum cask finished) — bolder, fruitier
  • Angel's Envy Triple Oak — finished in three distinct oak barrel types
  • Cellar Collection — limited-edition, experimental releases
  • Cask Strength — annual full-proof bottlings

The Father's Day tasting offers Dad a chance to experience multiple Angel's Envy expressions in one evening.

Why It Works

A few specific reasons this tasting beats a typical Father's Day dinner:

1. The engraved bottle is the real gift. A 750ml bottle of Angel's Envy retails for $50-$80+, so the ticket price effectively includes both the experience AND the gift. Dad walks home with a personalized keepsake.

2. The format is intimate. 2 hours, premium pours, curated pairings — no rushing, no chaos.

3. The waterfront location elevates the experience. Point Loma at sunset, with whiskey in hand, is one of San Diego's most reliable luxury moments.

4. It's Thursday, not Sunday. Beat the Father's Day crowd by celebrating early — and use Sunday for something else (or a quieter family meal).

5. It's an actual learning experience. Real tastings teach Dad about whiskey finishing, barrel selection, and how to identify flavor notes — making it a memory and an education.

Who It's For

  • Dads who appreciate craft whiskey and quiet moments
  • Gift-givers who want to combine an experience with a tangible keepsake
  • Whiskey collectors — Angel's Envy is a real collector brand
  • Couples or small groups — the intimate format works well for 2-6 people
  • Anyone wanting to celebrate Father's Day before the Sunday rush
