Penelope Toasted Series Toasted Barrel Finished (Batch 23-305), 50%

Price: 70 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

The nose is a sugary sweet breakfast buffet there’s French toast, cinnamon bun, Honey Nut Cheerios, strawberry milkshake, and freshly baked cinnamon-raisin bread. A bowl of red berries also presides. The palate has a lovely texture and shows maple syrup, chai spice, and monkey bread sweetness. Cinnamon follows through on the finish, which has some surprising funkiness by way of licorice and molasses.
