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.

Buttery caramel and baking spices on the nose. Creamy mouthfeel. Very little burn given the high proof. A nice drinkable bourbon. Well done.

Casey Nelson 3.3

Not bad but get the youth, I bet it will get better with age. I do not like the first half of the bottle but the second half isn’t bad.

Todd Menichini 4.3

Buttery, caramel, sweet and nice burn from the ABV. Truly surprised and a great pour even for such a young bourbon. Well done.
