Penelope 8 year old Tokaji Cask Finished, 55%

Price: 90 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Rye Whiskey

Dry and spicy on the nose, with hints of vanilla cream and fresh grain. On the palate, creamy vanilla, lemon peel, fresh raspberries, and spiced dark chocolate. The finish is very spiced and quite long, with chocolate cake and quite a tasty balance of fruit and peppery spice. This one holds its proof very well, and water brings out more chocolate and spice notes.
