Penelope Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Penelope Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey originates from the United States, distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and aged and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky. The brand was created by co-founders Michael Paladini and Danny Polise, naming the flagship bottle after Paladini's daughter. Penelope Bourbon operates under the ownership of Luxco, a subsidiary of MGP Ingredients, which officially acquired the acclaimed non-distilling producer in 2023. Spirit Description Penelope Four Grain is crafted from a unique blend of three distinct bourbon mash bills combining corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley. Aged in new charred American oak barrels, the spirit is left non-chill filtered to preserve its natural texture. Colour: Warm honey gold. Aroma: Soft and inviting. The nose opens with corn grain sweetness, maple syrup, orange oils, and fresh vanilla, accented by light oak and mild baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Palate: Smooth, sweet, and approachable on the entry. It delivers creamy caramel, butterscotch, and honeyed cereal notes, balanced by sweet fruit, subtle berry, and gentle rye spice. Body: Light-to-medium-bodied with a soft, rounded mouthfeel and low ethanol bite. Finish: Gentle and easygoing, trailing off with sweet cornbread, vanilla icing spice, and light toasted oak. ABV: Bottled at 40% (80 Proof).
