Homeland Security probes Kentucky Castle secret recordings

Key Points:

• A federal investigation by Homeland Security is underway into secret videos allegedly recorded by Kentucky bourbon maker Wes Henderson, founder of Angel’s Envy, involving hidden cameras at his properties including The Kentucky Castle.
• Family members discovered at least 15 hidden cameras in Henderson’s Florida vacation home in June 2025, with more found at his Kentucky residence; a sealed lawsuit accuses him of voyeurism, invasion of privacy, and recording minors nude.
• No victims have been identified yet at The Kentucky Castle, and no charges have been filed against Henderson, who denies all allegations and is prepared to defend himself legally.
• TKC Distilling, which owns The Kentucky Castle, has terminated Henderson as CEO and appointed his son Kyle to lead the business, while committing to a full independent investigation and cooperation with authorities.
• The lawsuit details extensive covert recordings at multiple locations, including footage of Henderson and others engaged in sexual acts, with evidence turned over to local authorities in December 2025; Henderson has taken a leave of absence from his deputy coroner role and has not publicly commented.
