Angel’s Envy Distillery located on Whiskey Row in Louisville, Kentucky has been entertaining distillery visitors with premium experiences since the distillery opened its doors to the public in November 2016.
Angel’s Envy began its latest distillery expansion in late 2020 and now we have some details and renderings to see what’s in store with this $8.2 million project.
The expansion will add more than 13,000 square feet to the brand home including a new event space and bar, a larger retail space and several new tasting rooms. It will increase annual guest capacity by 64,000 and create approximately 20 new jobs.

Tourism is a crucial component of our vision to build a better Kentucky for all our residents, and this development brings us another step forward in bringing that vision to fruition.”
The Angel’s Envy says the brand home expansion was made possible with ongoing support of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, the Kentucky Governor’s Office, Kentucky Tourism, the Louisville Mayor’s Office, Louisville Forward and Louisville Tourism. It is one of several recent projects, following news from 2018 that the brand would be constructing three new rickhouses on its property in Henry County, Kentucky.
