Penelope Toasted Barrel Strength (Batch 22-01), 57.5%

There’s plenty to appreciate on the nose, which starts off fruity—apricot, red berries, and orange peel—but also offers caramel, confectioner’s sugar, bubble gum, fluffernutter, and vanilla. Fruit remains on the palate, but it’s hot cinnamon spice that takes the lead, as a hefty dose of Red Hots, Big Red gum, and cinnamon powder coat the mouth. Cinnamon remains on the lengthy, delicious finish, but it’s tempered by cooling menthol and vanilla extract.
