Angel's Envy is a small batch Bourbon produced by Bourbon Hall of fame member, Lincoln Henderson. Responsible for helping develop Woodford Reserve where he was master distiller for 39 years, he now works with his son Wesley running their family business, the Louisville Distilling Company. Aged for 4 to 6 years in white American oak it then spends a further 3 to 6 months finishing in Ruby Port casks. A light, sweet and floral nose with lots of vanilla bean lead on to an incredibly balanced and smooth palate. This will have definitely left the Angel's yearning for more when the whiskey left the barrels!
Angel's Envy Rye Whiskey
As malcontents, we’re particular about our whiskey. When we decided to release a rye, we knew it had to be something special to live up to the amazing response received by our bourbon finished in port barrels. Angel’s Envy Rye Finished in Rum Barrels is genuinely unique and worthy of Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson’s legacy.
The taste profile of rye whiskey was a perfect fit for a rum cask finish. After sampling over 100 rums to find the right flavor to complement rye whiskey, the team’s decision was unanimous.
Angel’s Envy spends up to 18 months finishing in Caribbean rum casks, resulting in an immensely complex whiskey. The mingling of raw, spicy and earthy rye with the mellow sweetness of rum finishing creates an incomparably smooth and drinkable whiskey, even at 100 proof.
