Penelope Barrel Strength Bourbon Private Batch

Experience the uncompromising intensity and complexity of the Penelope Barrel Strength Private Batch. Crafted for those who appreciate uncut, deeply flavorful whiskey, this exclusive release pushes the boundaries of Penelope’s signature blending style. Whether it commands attention on the premium allocation shelves at Nestor Liquor or is poured for an exclusive tasting with Paul in the simulator suites at The Smash, this high-proof powerhouse is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.

Aged for a full 5 years, what truly sets this Private Batch apart is its remarkably high-rye, Four Grain mashbill. Composed of 57% Corn, 37% Rye, 4% Malted Rye, and 2% Barley Malt, the aggressive 41% total rye grain influence delivers an incredibly bold, spicy, and floral backbone. Presented entirely at barrel strength—uncut and non-chill filtered—it offers a pure, viscous, and authentic tasting experience straight from the wood.
