y now everyone in the whiskey space, from seasoned veterans to beginning drinkers, has heard about Angel’s Envy. They may not have a bottle, but they’ve at least tried it at their local watering hole. In recent years, Angel's Envy has given bars and retailers the opportunity to pick out a single barrel of their delicious bourbon!
Angel’s Envy makes two core products: a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey finished in port wine barrels and a Kentucky straight rye whiskey finished in Caribbean rum casks. They also have a limited-edition cask-strength bourbon that is released once a year. In addition, Angel’s Envy has released a few neat “one-offs,” such as an ice wine cider cask finished rye whiskey.
Angel’s Envy was launched by Lincoln Henderson, former Master Distiller for the Brown Forman corporation and inaugural Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame inductee, and his son Wesley “Wes” Henderson. Shortly after launch, Kyle Henderson, Lincoln’s grandson, joined the team. The three of them were working together until Lincoln’s death in 2013.
