Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an innovative expression that blends the deep heritage of Kentucky bourbon with a modern finishing technique. Distilled from carefully selected grains and aged in new American oak barrels, this bourbon undergoes a unique secondary maturation in hand-selected Portuguese port wine casks. The finishing process imparts layers of richness and complexity, enhancing the bourbon’s natural character with subtle notes of dried fruit, oak spice, and sweetness.

Founded by legendary master distiller Lincoln Henderson, Angel’s Envy was conceived as a legacy project that pushed the boundaries of bourbon-making while respecting tradition. Henderson’s decision to finish bourbon in port casks was groundbreaking, creating a signature style that is now celebrated worldwide. Every batch is crafted in small quantities with meticulous attention to balance and detail, ensuring consistency and refinement.

Presented in its signature wing-etched bottle, Angel’s Envy has earned a reputation as one of the most elegant and versatile bourbons available. Recognized for both innovation and quality, it appeals to seasoned whiskey enthusiasts and new drinkers alike. Equally enjoyable neat, over ice, or in elevated cocktails, it exemplifies the artistry of modern bourbon while honoring Kentucky’s timeless tradition.

Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a refined bourbon finished in port wine casks, giving it a signature layer of elegance and complexity. It opens with inviting aromas of vanilla, ripe cherry, and toasted oak accented by hints of spice and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced, offering flavors of caramel, dried fruit, and warm baking spice layered over a silky texture. The port influence brings subtle notes of plum and raisin, leading into a long, mellow finish with lingering sweetness and oak.
This bourbon pairs beautifully with both savory and sweet dishes. As a Starter, it complements charcuterie, roasted nuts, or mushroom crostini. For the Main Course, it works well with grilled steak, roasted duck, pork tenderloin, or barbecue ribs, where its fruit and spice depth enhances savory richness. In the Cheese course, it pairs wonderfully with aged cheddar, gouda, or blue cheese. For Dessert, it is perfect with crème brûlée, pecan pie, or flourless chocolate cake, echoing its caramel, fruit, and spice-driven profile.

Angel's Envy

Angel’s Envy is a Kentucky-based bourbon brand founded in 2010 by legendary Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson, along with his son Wes Henderson. After decades of experience creating some of the most recognizable American whiskies, Lincoln launched Angel’s Envy as a family project to push the boundaries of bourbon-making while honoring tradition. The name reflects the concept of the “angel’s share”—the portion of whiskey lost to evaporation during barrel aging—suggesting that what remains is so exceptional it inspires envy even among angels.

What sets Angel’s Envy apart is its innovative approach to finishing. While the bourbon follows traditional methods of production—crafted from a carefully selected mash bill, distilled in Kentucky, and aged in new charred American oak barrels—it is then finished in port wine casks. This secondary maturation adds depth and a distinctive character, pioneering a style that has since become influential in the bourbon industry.

The brand has expanded its offerings to include limited releases, such as ryes finished in rum casks and special single-barrel editions, all emphasizing creativity without sacrificing quality. Today, Angel’s Envy is recognized as both a disruptor and a guardian of craftsmanship, carrying forward the Henderson family legacy while setting new standards for innovation in American whiskey.
