"Lincoln Henderson did it by breaking a nearly two-hundred-year-old divine contract. He's always been one to sneer at traditions. So when he set out to create the most heavenly of all bourbons, Lincoln decided he might have to break some rules.
See, in bourbon circles, it's well accepted that each distillery owes a percentage of the bourbon in the barrels to the angels. This little agreement is known as the Angel's Share, and nobody has dared mess with it for two centuries.
But Lincoln, being a bit of a malcontent, figured maybe he could put a twist on this deal. Legend has it that he sat the angels down and got them to agree that they could take more of their share if they agreed to leave behind something even better.
The deal was sealed. But when the angels snuck a sip of Lincoln's incomparably smooth bourbon with exquisitely subtle "expressions" that came from joining 200 years of bourbon tradition with 400 years of port wine heritage, they felt they should have gotten a bigger share.
That's why Lincoln thought it appropriate to call his bourbon Angel's Envy. The angels, however, don't find it funny."
