Rooted in 200 years of bourbon heritage, Angel's Envy creates modern whiskeys that aren’t afraid to improve on the classic tradition. Inspired by inaugural Bourbon Hall of Fame member and founding Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson’s lifetime crafting fine spirits, Angel’s Envy starts with finely crafted and aged whiskeys, before adding a secondary barrel finishing step to add a layer of nuanced complexity. Where other bourbons end, we begin: the finish. But the finish isn't just a process, it's a calling. An invitation to try something new. To collaborate and welcome new perspectives along the way. It's what makes us who we are - a community of bourbon lovers who aren't too fond of endings. And as long as there's another step ahead, we'll take it. Because our bourbon may be finished, but we're never done. Our beloved brand, part of Louisville Distilling Company, was welcomed into the Bacardi Limited family in 2015. It's a perfect match with a team that, like us, is rooted in family and tradition, and who respects our creative freedom and commitment to innovation. We’re still a small company; we’ve just joined a slightly larger family.  We share the passion and entrepreneurial flair of our founders and are guided by our three culture pillars - Fearless, Family and Founders. They inspire our team members to be the best they can be and drive us forward in all we do. But what does this mean? •   Being Fearless; means adopting an agile mindset, being comfortable trying new things and taking risks. We are empowered to question, challenge and innovate. •   Family; We treat each other, and our communities, like Family. Always. •   Founders; The spirit of entrepreneurship is at the heart of everything we do. We see the business as if it’s our own. We do the right thing for the business and we all take accountability for our work. When you join Louisville Distilling Company and Bacardi, you become part of our family and gain more than just a job.
