Penelope Architect Straight Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 52%

Penelope Architect is a modern and innovative bourbon that combines classic American craftsmanship with a touch of French finesse. This release is part of Penelope’s experimental Architect series, where the focus is on building flavor profiles with precision and depth, much like an architect designing a structure. The whiskey is based on Penelope’s four‑grain recipe of corn, wheat, rye and malted barley, and it is aged for at least four years in new American oak barrels before receiving an additional finish with French oak staves from Tonnellerie Radoux.

What sets Penelope Architect apart is the use of OakScan technology, which makes it possible to select staves with specific aromatic characteristics. The result is a bourbon with a complex and layered flavor profile, where classic vanilla and caramel meet floral notes, light toast and a refined, spicy finish. At 52 percent ABV, the whiskey delivers both intensity and elegance, presenting itself as a balanced and well‑composed dram that appeals to both enthusiasts and newcomers.

The flavor opens with creamy sweetness and notes of baked grain, followed by hints of honey, light citrus and a subtle spicy edge from the rye. The finish is long and warm with tones of toasted oak, vanilla cream and a touch of white pepper. The French oak adds a distinctive texture and aromatic depth that sets the Architect series apart from Penelope’s other expressions. This is a bourbon that can be enjoyed neat or with a drop of water, and it also performs beautifully in cocktails where its structure and complexity can shine.
