Penelope Cooper Series Rio Batch 3 (24-901)

🪶 Penelope Cooper Series RIO SNW Batch 3 (24-901) Finished in Honey & Amburana at 98 Proof 🥃 🎉 TONIGHT… we pop the cork, swirl the Glencairn, and dive headfirst into honey-soaked happiness. 🎉 Welcome back to Belmont Bjorn’s Bourbon Banter, where the pours are real, the reviews are raw, and the bourbon… well, tonight, it’s Penelope. Yes sir, this is a BIG moment for us—it’s our first-ever Penelope pour on the channel, and she showed up dressed to impress. Say hello to the Penelope Cooper Series RIO Straight Bourbon Whiskey – Batch 3, 24-901. Bottled at a buttery-smooth 98 proof, and ready to waltz across your palate like it owns the place. 👃🏼 On the nose? Straight-up honey. 👅 On the palate? More honey. 🎯 On the finish? Guess what—honey again, wrapped in warm wood spice. Honestly, if Winnie the Pooh decided to moonlight as a distiller, this is what he’d bottle. This MGP-sourced stunner went through not one—but TWO barrel finishes: 🛢️ First in American Honey barrels, then given a 1.5-week tango with bold Brazilian Amburana Oak. That Amburana brings its signature swagger—cinnamon, baking spice, and a touch of magic. Sure, it’s a NAS (no age statement), but whispers from the whiskey wind suggest we’re sipping on something in the 4–6 year range. And let me tell you—she drinks like she’s been through some things. Now for the story behind the pour: a good buddy of mine hooked me up with two bottles. One he gave me (because friends like that are national treasures), and the other I snagged for about $60. Not too shabby for a bourbon that makes your tasting glass smell like dessert and a lumberjack had a baby. 🎥 And as always—this is a one-take wonder. No edits. No soundtrack. No production crew. Just me, the bourbon, and you. Raw. Honest. Slightly off-the-rails. And if you’re wondering—yes, you’re in the right place. Belmont Bjorn’s Bourbon Banter. Not my woodshop website. (That blooper at the end? Yep—long day. We’ve all been there.) So if you’re into whiskey wisdom, accidental comedy, and bourbon reviews with zero fluff and all the feels, do me a solid: 💥 LIKE it 💥 COMMENT something clever (or just say hey) 💥 SHARE it with your bourbon-loving crew 💥 And hit that SUBSCRIBE button so you don’t miss the next pour—it drops as soon as I hit Stop. ✈️ I’m Texas-bound next—off to explore the Wild West in search of new whiskey tales and probably some BBQ. Stay tuned.
