Angel's Envy Bourbon
Regular price $85.00
Angel’s Envy Distillery is a family run distillery that started as an concept. Lincoln Henderson was a Bourbon Hall of Fame member, having been the creator and Master Distiller for several brands in Brown-Forman portfolio, notably Gentleman Jack and Woodford Reserve. Angel’s Envy was Lincoln's brainchild that brought him out of retirement in 2011 to work with his son Wes to start the brand. The concept was a simple one, but one that goes against hundreds of years of traditional Bourbon distilling. That was to finish their Bourbon in Port or Rum casks, instead of new American oak casks. The Scotch enthusiasts out there, this won’t seem like a big deal at all, but to Bourbon purists, it was heresy. Bourbon by definition has to be matured in new charred oak casks, so the idea of adding another cask to the process was considered heresy by some Bourbon fans.
