Description

Penelope Barrel Strength Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey is a bold, richly layered expression that showcases both craftsmanship and nuance. Combining four distinct grains with barrel-strength bottling yields an intensely flavorful, full-bodied bourbon — vibrant with spice, oak, and sweet grain character. This is a whiskey for enthusiasts who appreciate expressive depth and complexity, whether sipped neat or celebrated in elevated bourbon cocktails. Origins & Craftsmanship Penelope Whiskey — produced in the United States — is known for thoughtful mash bill design and meticulous barrel selection. The Four Grain Bourbon incorporates a distinctive grain bill featuring corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. Each grain contributes a layer of texture and flavor: Corn provides foundational sweetness Rye contributes spice and structure Wheat adds softness and a creamy mouthfeel Malted barley supports enzymatic fermentation and adds subtle cereal complexity Distilled in traditional column stills and matured in new charred American oak barrels, this bourbon is selected for its ability to develop layered richness without overwhelming heat. The barrel-strength bottling preserves the full aromatic and flavor profile straight off the barrel, offering concentrated intensity and nuance. Tasting Profile Nose:Rich and inviting, with caramelized corn sweetness, vanilla bean, and toasted oak up front, followed by spice-dust rye, baked apple, and a hint of citrus zest. Underlying floral notes and malted grain add dimensional intrigue. Palate:Full-bodied and complex, beginning with deep tobacco honey, brown sugar, and butterscotch, then evolving into charred oak spice, cracked black pepper, baking cinnamon, and nutmeg. The four-grain structure lends textural richness — creamy with a firm backbone — as baked fruit and toasted malt interplay through the mid-palate. Finish:Long and warming, with oak warmth, lingering spice, and soft citrus peel that taper into a rich, satisfying close — reflective of both barrel strength and thoughtful blending.
