About this bottle
Like the flagship Penelope Bourbon, this is made from a blend of three mash bill recipes which uses four different grains: corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. It's aged from 3.5 to 5 years in new American oak barrels with a char #2 heads and char #4 staves. It's bottled without chill filtration at barrel strength. Each batch has a slightly different proof and flavor profile, which is to be expected of such bottlings.

Nose: caramel latte (definitely some coffee notes), leather, like there’s some age Palate: oak, very subtle tannins, subtle vanilla sweetness Finish: hug in the throat and some tingle in the tongue Overall: not a bad pour, I bought this in KY but I’ve seen this bottle more lately in my state.
Really good. Oily & rich. Deep & warming. Chocolate, brown sugar and deep dark caramel. Coffee notes. Everything dark and glorious. Dates, figs. Delicious.
Sour apple right up front. A surprisig kick when it first hits your tongue. Absolutely delicious
