Angel’s Envy has named Owen Martin as master distiller. Starting October 17th, Martin will lead all aspects of production and oversee innovation for Angel’s Envy, including its annual Cask Strength program and limited release Cellar Collection and Founder’s Collection programs. Martin is Angel’s Envy’s first appointed Master Distiller since co-founder and Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson’s passing in 2013.
“Angel’s Envy has always strived to revere tradition while embracing progress, so when looking for our new Master Distiller, we knew we needed to find someone who fully embodied that philosophy and innovative spirit,” said Gigi DaDan, General Manager of Angel’s Envy. “Owen’s experience in product development and experimentation and his progressive outlook regarding what’s next for the industry, as well as the leadership he has demonstrated throughout his career in defining and championing American whiskey categories, make him a perfect fit to lead Angel’s Envy into our exciting future.”
Martin previously worked at Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey as head distiller. His love of finished whiskeys was born while studying at the prestigious Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, and throughout his career, he has continued to gain a unique knowledge of whiskey maturation techniques from across the country and globe. He will now continue his passion for whiskey as Angel’s Envy’s head distiller to bring new and innovative finished whiskeys to fans while continuing to produce its highly acclaimed core offerings – a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Finished in Port Wine Barrels and a Rye Whiskey Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks.
