Penelope Bourbon

Maybe it’s because it’s my 3rd glass of the night but this is pretty good. Very mild, smooth. I got a buttery taste. Very easy drinking with some ice. Good value for price.

On the nose I get vanilla, caramel, & apple. To the palate I get a raw & spicy. I want this to sit in the barrel for a few more years bc I feel that it has much potential.. maybe a little premature?

Penelope 4 Grain (3YR) *NOSE: Overall it's Dry, Light, and Floral. Notes of Dry Oak, Fruit and Citrus (Apple, Pear, Lemon). Almost Highland Scotch-like until the Dry Caked Cornbread shows up. With time in the Glencairn, some Bolder, Buttery Kettle Corn notes emerge. *NEAT: Light and Dry. Very Corn Forward (perhaps due to its youth). Licorice, Raisins. Slightly Tart with Lemon Peel and just a Hint of Oak Char. There is a little Pepper Spice on the Short Finish. Dry Oak and Light Citrus coat the Palate. Not overly complex, but unique and very good. *SPLASH: A Few Drops of Water bring a little added Sweetness, but it still never makes it to "Vanilla". The Pepper is Dialed back and the Coating gets a good bit Sweeter. *VERDICT: I actually enjoyed this. I'm not always in the mood for a 100+ Palate Blaster and this will serve nicely as a mid-afternoon sipper now that the weather is cooling off. A good "Day Bourbon" LOL. Decently priced for a 4 Grain, but I do feel some extra age would help. Not sure I'd seek it out, but if you see it, I think it's worth a flier for $30'ish.

Sweet and light some strawberry every now and then with a very floral finish. Pretty good just low proof.
