As the holiday season unfolds, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what it means to be a modern gentleman. We’re proud to share with you today’s MODERN GENTS, presented by Angel’s Envy, Canada’s number one super-premium bourbon. A celebration of individuality, style, and the art of pairing fashion with finely crafted cocktails. Where we handpicked these five (5) remarkable individuals, each embodying the essence of a Modern Gent, to partake in this very special campaign.

Pairing each of these Modern Gents with custom cocktails created by Angel’s Envy Finished Whiskeys brand ambassador Lucas Twyman, and styled by our friends at GotStyle, each Gents brought their unique flair to the table. Together, they remind us that self expression today is as diverse and bold as the world of bourbon we enjoy.
