Angel's Envy Lincoln Henderson Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon 375ml

Lincoln was a craftsman with a healthy respect for tradition, but he also possessed a restless instinct for constant improvement. During his years at Brown-Forman, Lincoln was the creator of many notable brands, including Woodford Reserve and Gentleman Jack. Angel’s Envy was his first and only independent project. It was his masterpiece.

A man of many accolades, he was one of the inaugural inductees into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame and was also awarded the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from Malt Advocate. He rarely mentioned any of this, being much happier to discuss his work. Nearly 40 years of international spirits experience gave Lincoln a unique perspective on the industry. He often considered how techniques used in one type of whisk(e)y might improve another.

Lincoln had as many ideas as barrels of whiskey he tasted. He logged all of these in a little black book that he passed down his family line to ensure that all of us could continue to enjoy his distinctive and particular plans for whiskey for generations to come.

SUSTAINABILITY

About an hour’s drive from Louisville, Kentucky, there’s a 350-acre plot of land upon which the ANGEL’S ENVY® Henry County distillery stands, and last year ANGEL’S ENVY® partnered with local farmers to turn 91 of those acres into co-opted cornfields. It was a good harvest (in more ways than one!), producing 16,000 bushels of corn, which accounted for less than 10% of our needs. And the good kept going because that corn needed cooks, which ANGEL’S ENVY® employed—43 of them to be exact—resulting in the production of around 40,000 Liters of Pure Alcohol (LPA). With the success of the FY22 harvest, ANGEL’S ENVY® plans to continue its partnership with local farmers for years to come.
