Get to know the team behind Angel’s Envy, who are passionate about Bourbon and Whiskey in Miami. Meet Dani Espindola and John McConnon, who are the Whiskey Guardians and are dedicated to creating experiences and sharing their knowledge about bourbon.
John and Dani are now Angel’s Envy Whiskey Guardians, sharing immense pride in working with the company due to their values, which are embodied in their motto of “Revere Tradition. Embrace Progress” and their environmental initiative of planting 75,000 white oak trees for bourbon production sustainability. Angel’s Envy has an intriguing backstory and a wonderful family legacy. “As someone who values family greatly, I deeply admire the Henderson family’s love and reverence for their late Co-founder and Father/Grandfather Mr. Lincoln Henderson. The dedication of his son Wes, his grandson Kyle, and his five brothers to continue producing whiskey in his honor is truly inspiring. By promoting and educating people about Angel’s Envy whiskey, I feel like I am also a part of their family.” said Danielle.
“In order to have a successful business partnership, it is important to maintain open and consistent communication. This applies to all types of relationships, whether they be familial, romantic, friendship, or business. Even though John and I have different territories in the company, we make it a point to speak with each other on a daily basis about all aspects of our work. We provide each other with encouragement, support, inspiration, and motivation, and even engage in some light-hearted gossip. Our colleagues even refer to us as the “Miami Twins” due to our close bond and simultaneous start date. After working together for the past 8 months, it is clear that our partnership is strong and we truly are like twins” added Dani.
Dani shared with us the essential qualities of a successful Brand Ambassador. “From my personal experience, I believe that trust in the brand and the team is crucial. It’s impossible to endorse something that you don’t believe in. Additionally, creating unforgettable experiences and going above and beyond are essential. These things leave a lasting impression on people. Furthermore, building and respecting your network is vital, as it takes a group effort to achieve anything. This includes buyers, commercial partners, other brand ambassadors, distributors, sales consultants, and bartenders. Without this network, it’s impossible to succeed in our role. Therefore, I value my partners, and I’m grateful for the support I’ve received from everyone so far”
These Whiskey guardians are for sure on a mission to introduce Angel’s Envy to every person or establishment they come across, so everybody can experience the joy of savoring a unique bourbon. “My ultimate aim is to have Angel’s Envy stocked in every back bar, not just in South Florida but across the globe. This is my way of giving back to Angel’s Envy for everything it has done for me” – Says John
