A bourbon from a specific series and batch, finished in honey and Amburana, bottled at 98 proof. Tonight, we are opening this special bourbon. Welcome back to my show, where the drinks are authentic and the reviews are straightforward. This is a significant occasion as it's the first time featuring this particular bourbon on the show, and it presents itself impressively. This is the Penelope Cooper Series RIO Straight Bourbon Whiskey – Batch 3, 24-901. It's smoothly bottled at 98 proof and is ready to make a strong impression. On the nose? Pure honey. On the palate? More honey. On the finish? You guessed it – honey again, accompanied by warm wood spice. If a cartoon bear known for loving honey were a distiller, this is what he would produce. This bourbon, sourced from MGP, underwent two barrel finishes: first in American Honey barrels, then a brief period with Amburana Oak, which contributes notes of cinnamon, baking spice, and a magical quality. Although it has no age statement, it is thought to be between 4–6 years old. It drinks as if it has some experience. Regarding its acquisition: a friend provided two bottles. One was a gift, and the other was purchased for around $60. A reasonable price for a bourbon that creates a delightful aroma of dessert and woodsy notes. This review is presented in a single, unedited take. No alterations. No background music. No production team. Just me, the bourbon, and you. Unfiltered. Genuine. A little chaotic. And yes, you've arrived at the correct place. This is my bourbon review show, not my woodworking website. (That mistake at the end? It was a long day; we've all experienced that.) So, if you enjoy whiskey insights, unintentional humor, and bourbon reviews without unnecessary details, please: LIKE this video. COMMENT with something witty (or just say hello). SHARE it with your friends who love bourbon. And SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss the next review, which will be posted immediately after I finish recording. Next, I'm heading to Texas to look for new whiskey stories and likely some barbecue. Stay tuned. Until the next bottle is opened...
