Angel's Envy uses high-quality grains and other ingredients, which can also contribute to the cost. This is a key factor. Cheap whiskey = low grade ingredients.

The name Angel's Envy is a nod to the “angels' share,” the spirit lost through evaporation each year during barrel aging. As the story goes, “after tasting our finished whiskey, Lincoln joked that we'd finally gotten a better deal than the angels,” says the distillery team. “And so Angel's Envy was born.”
