Product Information

Discover more about our ongoing initiatives to create a greener future for the bourbon industry and our community. After tasting our finished whiskey, Lincoln joked that we had finally struck a better deal than the angels. This introduced an extra rich fruitiness to an already delicious whiskey, and when I first encountered it not long after launch during a holiday in Orlando, I was absolutely smitten.

A “straight” bourbon must be aged for at least 2 years, and must have an age statement on the label if it’s aged less than 4 years. Although they lost 5% of their spirit each year to the “Angel’s Share” (evaporation during barrel ageing) what remained was the Angel’s Envy. The “Founders' Collection" is the most exclusive offering, consisting of releases that commemorate brand anniversaries, special events, and milestones. Owen’s demonstrated experience in product development and experimentation regarding what’s next for the industry make him the perfect fit to lead Angel’s Envy into its exciting future. On the palate you’ll enjoy a surprisingly smoothness which has an exotic characteristic that the combination of orange and spices offers.Drinks will be chilled in 30-45 minutes and will be kept cold for several hours, especially if kept in the shade. With a gold colour laced with amber hues and nearly copper in tone, the first aromas are of subtle vanilla, raisins, maple syrup and toasted nuts.

The result is a marriage of the sweetness of virgin oak with the dark, complex, and sticky wine flavours of the port. All products are securely packaged in Air-Shock bottle bags or excessive amount of bubble wrap for additional protection. 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.

Sadly Lincoln Henderson died in 2013 surrounded by his family but his spirit lives on the incredible whiskey they continue to make. The combination of the vanilla-y richness with the sweet, sticky Port notes (which really come to the fore of the delightful finish) is a match made in Heaven - an apt saying, considering the name. Un-examined or un-checked goods that result in a subsequent claim outside of a 48 hour period will not be accepted.
