Luxist is reporting that Lincoln Henderson, the former distillery manager of Woodford Reserve and Old Forester,will release his new bourbon – Angel’s Envy – this fall. Angel’s envy is the term given to the whiskey that evaporates while in the barrel.

Henderson heads up the Louisville Distilling Company. His son Wes posted on  www.straightbourbon.com:

“I am pleased to confirm the rumors about Angel’s Envy Bourbon, and before taking any additional detailed information to the public, it is important for me to come before this group and provide some details, as we are prepared to release them…

These are exciting times as Lincoln returns to his Kentucky Bourbon roots. The first expression, produced on our behalf, will be available in September for national distribution, but our approach is to take it slow, and let the bourbon speak for itself. And we think it will. We have narrowed our location to 2 potential sites, and are making final decisions on our distillation equipment. The current plan is to incorporate pot stills and continuous distillation into our process, allowing us to maintain an artisanal capability (Dad wants to try a whole bunch of things) and still have the ability to maintain production demands. Production at our facility is expected to begin in September of 2010.”

Henderson has a massive reputation to maintain and Angel’s Envy will be highly sought after in the premium bourbon range.
