Product Information

Angel’s Envy began as a retirement project for Lincoln Henderson, a master distiller with decades of experience at Brown-Forman, where he worked on eminent brands like Woodford Reserve and Jack Daniel’s.

The brilliance of Angel’s Envy lies in its finishing process. While most bourbons exclusively age in charred American oak barrels, Henderson chose to finish his in ruby port casks. This decision added layers of fruity sweetness and complexity that distinguish Angel’s Envy from other bourbons.

In the spirits world, ‘angel’s share’ is the portion that evaporates as the whiskey ages in barrels. Henderson imagined that after the angels took their share, they’d envy the deliciously fruity bourbon that was left behind.
Today, Lincoln Henderson’s legacy is upheld by his son, Wes. The brand has expanded to include a variety of cask finishes and has ventured into releasing rye whiskey.

An interesting bourbon with a unique twist - after the initial maturation it takes a leaf out of Scotch Whisky's book and spends between 3 and 6 months finishing in port barrels. The more experimentation the better, we reckon, especially when it turns out something like this - marrying the sweet caramel and grain of bourbon with the rich sticky wine flavours of a port cask.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Orange segments, flaky pastry and cinnamon sticks.

Palate: Creamy vanilla, cedar spice and the start of the red berry sweetness.

Finish: A huge helping of dark chocolate, red grape and a light waft of aromatic herbs.
