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

The bourbon is distilled from a mash of corn, wheat and barley and aged in new, charred oak barrels following classic American tradition.

Signature Style

Sweet, Smooth, Spiced
The flavor offers a sweet, vanilla-forward character with a hint of spice.
