Penelope Bourbon Toasted Series
Although Penelope Bourbon only began in 2018, there has certainly been a buzz around the brand over the past couple of years. With the introduction of their Architect Bourbon, a Toasted Series Barrel Strength Bourbon, and a Rose Cask finished Bourbon, there is a lot of variety in this up-and-coming brand. If you are a whiskey enthusiast youve likely heard of Penelope despite their short existence. The recent buzz around their whiskey is what led me to purchase a bottle and try the Penelope Bourbon Toasted Series for myself.

Penelope Bourbon Toasted Series Review
Isnt always nice when you meet a new friend. Thats what happened Wednesday night as Penelope Bourbon made their Ohio debut at the Central Ohio Whiskey Society meeting. Penelope has finally made their way into Ohio and you will find their bottles on the shelf now or very soon in Ohio. At the meeting we got to go through their entire lineup but for this review I will do a review of the Barrel Strength Toasted that was the favorite of the group by a small margin.
Make sure you put in the comments any bottles that you would like me to review.
NAME Penelope Bourbon Barrel Strength Toasted Series
PROOF 114
AGE non-age stated officially but says 4 6 years on the back of the bottle
COLOR browned butter
NOSE Butterscotch pudding, vanilla bean, graham crackers, charred oak, worn leather
TASTE Smoked salted caramel drizzle, almonds, dark chocolate, rye spice, cinnamon and black pepper. The sweetness starts out but then the spice builds.
FINISH I would call this a long finish. The rye spice builds through the finish. Plenty of leather, oak and dark chocolate also.
FINAL COMMENTS Penelope Bourbon is known for the four-grain mashbill. How they achieve that is using 3 different mashbills from MGP. 45% wheat bourbon, 21% rye bourbon and then what I think creates their biggest difference is a 99% corn bourbon. For the toasted series they then use Toasted barrels that come from Speyside Cooperage and Kelvin Cooperage .
