{"title":"Angel's Envy","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAngel's Envy was a retirement project that became a category. Lincoln Henderson spent nearly forty years at Brown-Forman, where he created Woodford Reserve, Gentleman Jack, and Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, earning a spot in the inaugural class of the Bourbon Hall of Fame. He'd long carried an idea the corporate world never let him try: finishing bourbon in port wine casks. In 2010 his son Wes convinced him to come out of retirement and pursue it independently, and the resulting bourbon launched in 2011 — the first widely available finished bourbon at a time when secondary casks were still considered heresy in Kentucky. The name plays on the \"angel's share,\" the roughly 5% lost to evaporation each year: what's left in the bottle is what the angels envy. Lincoln passed in September 2013, two years into the brand's life, but the family stayed — Wes joined him in the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame in 2019, and grandson Kyle still works production in Louisville. Bacardi acquired the company in 2015, and the Louisville Distilling Company opened its own downtown distillery the following year. Every bourbon runs the same 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% barley mash bill, blended in batches of 8 to 12 barrels. The range spans the flagship Port Finish, the annual Cask Strength, Bottled in Bond, a Rye finished in Caribbean rum casks, and the experimental Cellar Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Angel's Envy collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"angels-envy-bourbon-whiskey","title":"Angels Envy Port Finish Bourbon Whiskey","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e750mL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elevate Your Tastebuds with Angel's Envy Port Finish Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing Angel's Envy Port Finish Bourbon Whiskey, a testament to the art of bourbon craftsmanship and an unparalleled expression of indulgence.

The base is a 95% rye, 5% malted barley whiskey aged around six years, sourced from Indiana, then finished for up to 18 months in Caribbean rum casks with unusually good pedigree: barrels that first held Maison Ferrand Cognac in France before aging rum at Plantation in Barbados, so the wood carries both spirits into the rye. Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) in the brand's signature angel-wing bottle. What you should know going in: the rum wins. Breaking Bourbon calls it the quintessential dessert whiskey — dark sugars, molasses, and gingerbread dominating, with the rye acting more like a canvas than the subject — and notes it drinks well below its proof. Expect butterscotch, candied fruit, nutmeg, and vanilla custard on the nose, brown sugar and rum spice on the palate, and a sweet, almost eggnog-like finish with rye pepper poking through late. Batches vary in rum intensity. If you want a bone-dry rye, look elsewhere; if you want a rich, sweet, genuinely distinctive after-dinner pour or a knockout Manhattan base, this is the one that started it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Angel's Envy Finished Rye Whiskey online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19470157938788,"sku":"C0001122L","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/Angels_Envy_RYe.jpg?v=1565413279"},{"product_id":"angels-envy-triple-oak-bourbon-whiskey","title":"Angel's Envy Triple Oak Bourbon Whiskey","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whiskey \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e750mL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof: \u003c\/strong\u003e92\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription: \u003c\/strong\u003ePresenting Angel's Envy Triple Oak Finish Bourbon, a remarkable blend of craftsmanship and flavor that elevates the bourbon experience.
