The history of the estate began in 1858 with the acquisition of vineyards by the Arnoux family in Vosne-Romanée, one of the most famous appellations in the Côte de Nuits. Over the years, the family has developed and expanded its vineyards, acquiring plots in prestigious climats such as Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Échezeaux, Clos de Vougeot and others.

In 2009, Charles Lachaux, representing the fifth generation of the Arnoux family, took over the management of the estate. He brought new ideas and a more rigorous approach to viticulture and winemaking. Charles has also worked to convert the estate to organic viticulture, with an emphasis on respect for the environment.

Angel's Envy was founded by Lincoln Henderson, a whisky industry legend with over 40 years' experience at Brown-Forman, where he worked on brands such as Woodford Reserve. The brand was launched in 2011 by Lincoln Henderson and his son, Wes Henderson. Lincoln wanted to create a whisky that was unique and different, using unconventional cask finishing techniques. What sets Angel's Envy apart from other bourbons is its finishing in port casks. After the traditional maturation in American white oak casks, the bourbon is transferred to port casks for a 3-6 month finish, giving it rich, complex notes of dried fruit, vanilla and caramel. The brand has also explored other types of finish, such as rum casks for their Rye whisky, adding additional layers of flavour.

In 2016, Angel's Envy opened its own distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, on Main Street, in a historic area known as ‘Whiskey Row’. This modern facility allows the brand to control the entire production process. Since its inception, Angel's Envy has won numerous prestigious awards and has been recognised by critics and whisky lovers alike for its exceptional quality and innovative approach. Sadly, Lincoln Henderson passed away in 2013, but his legacy lives on through Angel's Envy. Wes Henderson and his sons continue the family tradition, continually innovating and maintaining the high standards set by Lincoln. The brand remains true to the Lincoln philosophy: ‘Never rest on your laurels and always seek to improve the product’.
