Penelope Rio (2024 Release)

BATCH // 24-901 NEAT NOSE - This is like if you had sat down to pour a bowl if cereal. You couldn’t decide between Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Apple Jacks so you chose both. Then, instead of using milk you poured honey over it. I can only imagine the sweet smell that would radiate up from that bowl of diabetes. That’s what you get here. PALATE - Exactly the same as the nose. Extremely sweet, yet there is a nice balance of the honey and amburana on the palate. The mouthfeel is slightly sticky and viscous. FINISH - Long. All of the flavors slowly dissipate. Again, very well balanced. BUY? - ONLY at MSRP. This is good, but not my favorite thing. I think this pour would really shine after eating something spicy as the sweetness of it may be a nice, soothing dram for the palate. BUY AGAIN? - I honestly doubt it. Ive passed on three more batches of this after getting this bottle because I’m just not a huge fan. I can’t deny it’s good and I see how some people could fall in love with this.

Nose: the nose is the most unique I have experienced from any whiskey and somewhat hard to describe. The scent of the amburana woth interesting soices and the honey notes are strong as well Palate: honey and grain notes blended together make a fun combination. Pencil shavings, cinnamon and oak are present as well. Finish: soft mouthfeel and similiar notes from the palate continue through the end. The first time I opened thos bottle about five months ago i was not much of a fan. But fonally coming bacl to thos bottle has made me appreciate more than my original thoughts. No need to search this out again but I always like to experience new and dofferent whiskey styles.

I finally got one!!! Let’s goooooooo….Nose: Obviously Honey and Cinnamon, with a heavy cream cheese icing note. Matches batch 1 with the most insane nose I’ve ever smelled. You could make a candle out of this stuff. Palate: so light and sweet. It’s like drinking dessert. Amazing notes of butterscotch, honey, cinnamon, that cream cheese icing note, and then some nice oak on the backend. Absolutley delicious. It’s crazy to me how they get it to taste like this. It’s like a liquid cinnamon roll, with the icing. Maybe a little hint of coconut too. My friend bought two, which I thought was overkill….now I am a little jealous.

If dont like sweet and cinnamon tropical delight then dont buy, otherwise buy it or 2! Me and the wife love this bottle something totally different than the ky style oak and tobacco notes. Worth $110 or less in my opinion, very savory

Tastes unlike any other bourbon I’ve ever tasted. Almosts tastes like a cocktail with honey and cinnamon. Definitely more of a novelty bourbon rather than an everyday drinker. Was almost tired of it by the end of my pour.

Sweet. Verybgood initially, but i could see this being too sweet to keep drinking. No, burn, and good finish. Love the flavor, but I just wonder if it would last. I only got to try a sample.
