Penelope 9 year old Estate Collection Private Select Blend of Straights (2024 Release) 50.6%

Price: 90 Issue: Spring 2025 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

An annual release that’s part of Penelope’s new Estate Collection of aged whiskeys introduced last fall. Vanilla sweetness, birthday cake, vanilla cookies, orange peel, and fragrant oak on the nose. The palate offers mellow notes of maple syrup, dark chocolate, and sweet cherries. A mid-length finish, with sweet red berry liveliness, and excellent depth and flavor. The combination of vibrant freshness and aged depth is impressive. (Release date: 11/24).
