Penelope Barrel Strength Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskey

From the United States, Penelope Barrel Strength Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a cask-strength bourbon matured in new American oak barrels. Bottled at undiluted barrel proof, it retains the full intensity associated with this style. Vanilla and dried apricot bring a warm, rounded sweetness, while white pepper adds a crisp counterpoint.

Subtle barrel char grounds the finish without overwhelming the softer notes. This whiskey can be poured neat for a more concentrated experience or served over ice to temper its strength as it opens. A small addition of water offers another practical way to adjust the intensity to taste. At 750 mL, it is a straightforward addition to a home bourbon shelf, with enough depth for slow sipping and an approachable balance of fruit, sweetness, spice, and char.
