Introducing Penelope Rose Cask Finish - our first Limited Release straight bourbon whiskey finished in French Rose Wine Casks. We've married our signature four grain blend of three bourbon mash bills with hand-selected French Grenache Rose Wine Casks from the Southern Rhone region to bring together a truly unique alliance of flavor.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of candied fruit, caramel and vanilla. The body is sweet and refreshing hints of vanilla and viscous cream. Creamy sweetness transitions from the forward notes and into the body, herbal, floral and cream. The finish is rich leather and good heat with floral and botanical lingering notes.
Whisky Advocate
- wh86
An unusual cask finish for bourbon; the rose imparts floral and fruity notes on the nose with dried orange peel, fragrant oak, cotton candy, bubble gum, and Jolly Rancher. The palate is surprisingly zippy with citrus, cinnamon, and oak but loses full harmony among its disparate flavors. On the finish, there's more cinnamon, along with chicory and oak. The overall journey is a bit uneven. (2,400 bottles)
