Elevate your festive gifting with the highly anticipated Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Angelʼs Envy – the number one ultra-premium bourbon in the USA – has officially launched nationally in Australia. With its unique approach to finishing whiskey in port wine barrels, the Kentucky Straight Bourbon which has taken America by storm is now available for Australian whiskey enthusiasts just in time for the festive season.

Co-founded in Louisville, Kentucky in 2011 by industry icon Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson and his son, Angelʼs Envy quickly made its mark throughout the US for its unique finishing technique. Unlike other bourbons, Angelʼs Envy undergoes an additional maturation process, finishing it in Port Wine Barrels to impart a richer layer of complexity and flavour.

What began as a father-son venture has now entered a new chapter with the appointment of Owen Martin as the companyʼs first Master Distiller following Lincoln Hendersonʼs passing in 2013. With a history and passion for maturing, blending, and the art of secondary finishing, Martin is always searching for new ways to offer an unparalleled bourbon and rye experience by continually pushing the boundaries of bourbon.

As the second biggest category after vodka, Australians are proven bourbon lovers, yet there is a growing trend in palettes that leans towards more quality, authentic and artisanal products. Angel’s Envy offers the perfect answer to this providing an elevated drinking option for entertaining and gifting – particularly for those who appreciate the finer things in life – with its versatile flavour profile and port nuances.

Angelʼs Envy Whiskey Specialist Kayla Grigorou explains, “As Christmas approaches, we are delighted to formally introduce Angelʼs Envy, the perfect addition to any drinks trolley, delivering a smooth, sweet flavour profile perfect for bourbon novices along with a complexity in flavour also suited to seasoned bourbon drinkers”.
