Penelope Toasted Bourbon (Char 2, Heavy Toasted)

CHAR - 2 , TOAST - Heavy NEAT NOSE - Light Brown Sugar, Honey, and Caramel PALATE - Velvety mouthfeel with sweet, sweet honey FINISH - Short, but very pleasant with no burn or spice BUY AGAIN?? This is good, but for a next bottle I’d like to get either a cask strength or store pick. I’ve seen Cask Strengths with a proof of 110 and I’ve seen a Total Wine Pick at 115 proof. Im sure then, this nice toasted bourbon would be closer to 4, maybe 4+ stars.

Good varied nose on this. Caramel. Vanilla. Marshmellow. Spice. The palate lacks. It isn't bad, but as another reviewer mentioned, the price doesn't match. For 20 dollars cheaper, it would be an easy purchase. Mostly charred oak on this. Vanilla lingering with a red fruit note. Maple. A big plus for how easy to drink it is. Might be one of the easier 100 proofs around. I haven't enjoyed Penelope all that much. This one redeemed it some.

It tastes like liquid dissappointment. It is young, and that always tastes like a freshly mowed field. The toast helps mask that flavor, but not good enough. Wish I tried it before I bought it, would have saved 62 beans. For anyone on the fence, skip it.

Not bad. But compared to my favorite (Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel), this one hits a little different. Definitely more smoke/char in this one and i feel like the overall flavor dissipates quickly.

Very smooth, light burn that increases at the end. But crazy how smooth it starts. Wish there were more flavors present , by def has the char. Not bad, but didn't blow me away

Nose of Woodford Double Oaked with vanilla forward for the front palette. Overall sweet and mellow. Decent pour but don’t know about this price point
