Boldly innovative with novel finishing techniques, our Straight Rye Whiskey is aged up to 7 years before being finished for up to 12 months in French Oak Extra Añejo barrels. The final touch—a blend with an 11-year-old rye—resulting in a refined, rich whiskey full of exceptional depth and new discoveries.

Inspired by tequila’s distinct production process, our Master Distiller set out to innovate beyond fortified wine and explore barrels from a new continent and spirit category. What he discovered was an extraordinary find—Patrón French Oak Extra Añejo Tequila barrels that had held agave distillate for four years. Exceedingly rare for both their French Oak construction and extended aging, these barrels lend a rich, spiced finish to our Straight Rye Whiskey.

A true collector’s piece, this sleek glass bottle features refined grooves, foil accents, and an etched cork, all housed in an elegant green and gold box. Embellished with the symbol of the agave, the packaging honors the rare fusion of rye and tequila, with inscriptions detailing the whiskey’s meticulous finishing process and layered complexity.

Angel’s Envy Private Selection Single Barrel 110 Proof is a limited, high-strength expression that takes the brand’s port cask–finished bourbon to a more intense level. It opens with bold aromas of dark cherry, fig, caramel, and toasted oak, underscored by hints of vanilla and warm spice. On the palate, it is powerful yet refined, delivering concentrated flavors of black fruit, toffee, cocoa, and cinnamon balanced by a rich, velvety texture. The port finish amplifies notes of raisin and plum, while the higher proof brings extra depth and warmth. The finish is long and robust, leaving layers of oak, fruit, and spice that linger with elegance.
Starter: Smoked meats, charcuterie, or spiced nuts. Main Course: Grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, roast duck, or venison. Cheese: Blue cheese, aged gouda, or sharp cheddar. Dessert: Dark chocolate truffles, bread pudding with bourbon sauce, or fig cake.

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.
