Angel's Envy
Angel’s Envy Distillery is a family run distillery that started as an idea. Lincoln Henderson was a well known name in the Bourbon industry,having been Master Distiller at multiple brands for Brown-Forman over the years, notably 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). The idea was to mature Bourbon in Port 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. 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.
