PennyPacker Whiskey

About PennyPacker

PennyPacker is a straight rye whiskey whose name honours Samuel Pennypacker, a colourful Pennsylvania governor of the early 1900s. For newcomers, it's an accessible rye with a classic, spicy Pennsylvania style, while connoisseurs should know that, like several other newer American labels, the brand is likely built on sourced whiskey rather than a named home distillery, making the story behind the name more interesting than the production history itself.

History & Background

PennyPacker is marketed as a craft bourbon label, but very little has been made public about when and where production actually began. Like several other newer American whiskey labels, PennyPacker is likely assembled from sourced bourbon rather than distilled from scratch at a named home distillery, and the name draws on a classic, slightly old-fashioned American ring.

Production & Style

The whiskey is distilled from a rye-heavy mash in the classic Pennsylvania style.

Signature Style

Spicy, Peppery, Dry
The whiskey offers a spicy, peppery character with a dry finish.
