Penelope 10 year old Estate Collection Single Barrel (2024 Release; Barrel No. 24-56), 49%,
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2025 ● Reviewer: Shane English ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Late last fall, Penelope released two different single barrel bottlings, with this one made from a 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley; and its sister whiskey made from a mash of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley. On the nose, this lower-rye release leads with spiced caramel latte, vanilla poundcake, and gingersnaps. The flavors are fruitier, with apple cider and berry compote complementing the prickle of sweet chile peppers and cinnamon candies. (Release date: 10/24)
