Angel’s Envy Tour: Everything You Need To Know (2023)
Last Updated on December 29, 2022 by Lydia Martin
Angel’s Envy started as a father-and-son idea in 2006 and eventually evolved into a full-blown operational urban distillery in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky.
If you’re a fan of the brand’s cask-finished bourbons, you’re in luck — their distillery offers two one-of-a-kind tours focused on varying aspects of the whiskey industry.
We’ll discuss everything there is to know about the Angel’s Envy Tour, so you know what to expect.
About Angel’s Envy Tour
The Angel’s Envy Tour offers two separate tours with varying experiences, so patrons can decide for themselves which one they’re more interested in. It first opened its doors to the public in 2016.
The Signature Tour is all about touring Angel’s Envy distillery cathedral and bringing visitors to the heart of their operations from start to finish.
This one-hour guided tour starts with sharing the brand’s history and ends in their Finishing Room, where visitors can enjoy Angel’s Envy Bourbon Finished in Port Casks and Angel’s Envy Whiskey Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks.
The Bottle Your Own Tour is for guests who are more interested in a hands-on experience of making bourbon.
Their in-house experts chose select barrels specifically for this exciting activity, with visitors filling, corking, and labeling their own bottle of Angel’s Envy Single Barrel.
This tour is also highly educational, as you’ll learn a lot about the bottling process and how it became the standard in America. They’ll also let you in on their thought process behind their distinctive bottle design.
