Angel's Envy has arrived!!



First time in Missouri...I have been emailing Angel's Envy for a few years now to get them to come here and they finally made it!!!

Very Exciting Bourbon!

We tasted barrel samples and blended to different blends.  We have 60 cases of each.  Come in and sample both and see which you like better.  Chances are you will like both.    We are the only place in town to bring in two different small batch blends.  Come check them out.

We tasted through different barrels and hand picked two different blends of our own.
Angel's Envy / TWCP Bourbon Handpicked Blend #1 ...$41.99
"WC1" in stock at all locations Spicier" Blend
Angel's Envy / TWCP Bourbon Handpicked Blend #2 ...$41.99
"WC2" in stock at all locations - "Sweeter" Blend



“A beautiful, mouthwatering newcomer to the whiskey scene. Named for the “angel’s share,” the portion that evaporates from the barrel during the aging process, this golden amber spirit is finished in Port barrels, which explains those juicy red-fruit notes that slide into the long finish. Look for orange peel, vanilla and roasted nut flavors, too.”

Created by Lincoln Henderson who just passed last month...
Lincoln Henderson – Beloved Bourbon Legend

Louisville, Kentucky (September 10, 2013) – Kentucky bourbon legend Lincoln Henderson, the Master Distiller of Angel’s Envy, passed away at home this evening, surrounded by family, laughter and tears. He was 75 years old.  -- read more about the legend

What’s So Sinful about Envy?
Created by Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson, Angel’s Envy is worth coveting. Aged up to 6 years in charred white oak barrels and finished in ruby port wine casks, Angel’s Envy is an artisan’s masterpiece unlike any other bourbon.

Even after being named a “Living Legend” by Wine and Spirits Magazine, Lincoln wasn’t content to rest on his laurels. He was always a malcontent. But then, you don’t spend 40 years defining the spirits industry and earn an inaugural spot in the Bourbon Hall of Fame without a few unconventional ideas. Angel’s Envy was his last, great endeavor.

Angel’s Envy is what happens when 200 years of tradition meet an independent master craftsman’s instinct to improve. It’s a total return to craft first, hand-blended batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time. Our bourbon starts with the finest local ingredients distilled in micro-batches and aged in American oak. We personally taste every barrel throughout each step to ensure that the spirit meets Lincoln’s malcontent legacy.

This would be enough for any other premium bourbon, but Lincoln had other ideas for his creation. That’s why we finish every batch in ruby port wine casks. There’s no set time for the process. It’s only Angel’s Envy when we say it is. The ruby port wine finish adds subtle nuance without ruining the integrity of the bourbon. The end result is a rich, exceptionally smooth and rare bourbon. Sin aside, we work every day to inspire envy, even if it takes a little longer.
