About this bottle

This Penelope Bourbon is created from a mix of three mash bill recipes, incorporating corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. It undergoes aging for 3.5 to 5 years in new American oak barrels featuring char #2 heads and char #4 staves. Bottling occurs at barrel strength without chill filtration, and each batch presents a unique proof and taste profile.

Denise Bonds 4.0

Rich notes of butterscotch and pastry spices greet you. A velvety texture on the palate. Surprisingly smooth for its strength. A pleasant and easy-drinking bourbon. Nicely executed.

Stacy Hart 3.3

Not bad, but the youth is apparent; I suspect it will improve with age. I didn't care for the first half of the bottle, but the second half isn't unpleasant.

Elbert Danielson 4.3

Buttery, with caramel and sweetness, and a pleasant burn from the alcohol content. I was genuinely surprised and it's a fantastic pour, even for a young bourbon. Nicely done.

Nelson Trujillo 4.0

Gratitude to Ryan! Caramel aroma, flavor is sweet with vanilla, caramel, and rock candy. Surprisingly sweet given the alcohol content. Enjoyable.

Matthew Leone 3.8

A solid barrel-proof bourbon. A bit expensive. Pleasant finish.
