Penelope Bourbon Barrel Strength

About Penelope Bourbon Barrel Strength

An intensification of flavor marks this delicious, higher-proof expression of Penelope’s signature four grain bourbon, for a multi-layered and deeply enjoyable tasting experience.

Penelope Barrel Strength Bourbon is an excellent bottle that is very approachable. It offers terrific value for quality and is a great jumping off point for exploring higher proof bourbons.

This offers a bold, concentrated caramel tone that mingles with a hint of plum skin. A pleasant prickle of sweet spices—cinnamon, cardamom, clove, cayenne—lingers on the finish. – Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast

Tasting Notes

Aromas of rich fruit, syrup, and sweetness, savory grain notes alongside pleasant citrus. On the palate, orange peel, fruit, caramel, and increased oak notes to provide a good kick in the body. The finish is balanced and smooth, candied sweetness, smoke, and savory grain.

Suggested Serves

• Classic: sip neat, of course
• Unexpected: Try this tasty treat: the Port Authority mixes port, simple syrup, lemon juice and tiki bitters with Penelope Bourbon

Production Notes

Barrel Strength Small Batch is blended from four-grain bourbon mash bills which are aged for between 3 to 4 years in new American oak barrels. It is completely uncut and non chill-filtered. Each barrel was hand selected and blended into a single batch to create this unique offering.

Penelope Bourbon is distilled at MGP’s historic Lawrenceburg, Indiana distillery, and is now blended and bottled at Penelope’s new blending house in New Jersey.

Mike Paladini and Danny Polise were close friends and childhood neighbors. They and their wives got together and in classic entrepreneurial fashion decided to create a bourbon everyone could love. Penelope Bourbon is named after Mike’s daughter, Penelope.
