Penelope Whiskey

Named after the founders' daughter and borrowed from Greek mythology's most patient wife, Penelope is a bourbon built on family rather than hype. Four different mash bills meet in one soft, balanced dram.

    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.

    Penelope Barrel Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 57%
    Penelope Four Grain – Batch #20

    Penelope Barrel Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey, batch 20, is a powerful and characterful expression that showcases Penelope’s four‑grain philosophy in its most intense form. This bourbon is crafted from a blend of corn, wheat, rye and malted barley, creating a naturally complex and layered flavor profile. In the Barrel Strength edition, the whiskey is bottled straight from the barrel without dilution, resulting in a robust 57% ABV and a tasting experience with maximum depth and authenticity.

    After aging in new American oak barrels, the whiskey develops a rich aroma of vanilla, caramel and toasted oak, complemented by fruity undertones and a distinct grain‑driven sweetness. The high proof amplifies both the softness of the wheat and the spice from the rye, while the malted barley contributes a smooth, rounded finish. The flavor unfolds in layers of brown sugar, baked cornbread, gentle spice, honey and a warm, lingering aftertaste with hints of cinnamon and charred wood.

    Batch 20 is a small, carefully selected release where each component of the four‑grain blend is allowed to shine clearly. It is a bourbon that appeals to collectors and enthusiasts seeking an intense, unfiltered and genuinely expressive whiskey experience. It performs beautifully neat, but a few drops of water can open up even more nuance in the glass.

    A powerful, deep and harmonious bourbon that demonstrates just how much character Penelope can deliver when their four‑grain DNA is presented pure and undiluted.

    Penelope Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 47.5%

    Penelope Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey showcases the softer and more elegant side of Penelope’s four‑grain philosophy. In this expression, the rye has been removed from the recipe and replaced with wheat, creating a noticeably rounder, sweeter and creamier bourbon profile. The result is a whiskey that maintains Penelope’s modern lightness while delivering a deep and harmonious flavor experience that both new and seasoned bourbon enthusiasts will appreciate.

    The whiskey is aged in new American oak barrels, where it develops warm notes of vanilla, caramel and baked grain. The wheat contributes a silky mouthfeel and a natural sweetness that blends with subtle hints of honey, gentle spice and toasted oak. At 47.5% ABV, it offers an excellent balance of intensity and drinkability, allowing the flavors to shine without becoming heavy or overwhelming.

    Penelope Wheated is an ideal choice for those who enjoy wheated bourbons like Weller or Maker’s Mark but want a more modern and lifted expression. It performs beautifully neat, but also opens up nicely with a drop of water or in a classic cocktail where its soft sweetness can truly stand out.

    A harmonious, rounded and welcoming bourbon that demonstrates just how elegant a wheated whiskey can be when crafted with care and precision.

About Penelope Whiskey

Penelope is an American bourbon, named after the founders' daughter, known for its soft, approachable style. The whiskey is typically made from four different mash bills, blended into a complex yet still easy-drinking profile with notes of vanilla, caramel, grain and subtle spice. Penelope has quickly earned recognition for its modern approach to bourbon, growing from a small family project into a brand that appeals to both new and experienced whiskey enthusiasts.

History & Background

Penelope was created as a small family project within the American craft bourbon scene, where personal stories often shape a brand's identity more than a long corporate history. The name is drawn from Greek mythology, where Penelope was the patient wife of Odysseus, but it also refers directly to the founders' own daughter - a double reference underlining the brand's family character. By combining four different mash bills in its blends, Penelope has set itself apart from many other new bourbon brands and quickly built a reputation for a thoughtful, modern style.

Production & Style
