A decade at our Distillery

10 years to envy

For 10 years, we’ve proudly welcomed guests to our downtown Louisville distillery. Now, we’re excited to celebrate. Join us from November 19 to 22 for exclusive experiences, offers, and memorable ways to raise a glass to the first decade.

Long before Angel’s Envy called 500 East Main Street home, this building sat vacant for nearly 40 years. In 2013, a three-year restoration began to give the historic building a new life. In 2016, Angel’s Envy Distillery opened its doors, helping usher in a new era of bourbon in downtown Louisville.


Over the past 10 years, we’ve had the privilege of watching our distillery and Louisville’s bourbon culture grow together. To every guest who has walked through our doors, every neighbor who has welcomed us, and every team member who has distilled our whiskey, filled our bottles, or shared a story on a tour or over a cocktail: thank you!


We’re proud to have called downtown Louisville our home for the past decade and look forward to welcoming guests for many more years to come.

A Decade Worth Tasting

Visit us from November 19 to 22 as we celebrate 10 years at the distillery with special tastings, archival pours, and limited releases.
