Penelope Bourbon Rosé Cask Finish

Nose: nothing crazy, like rosé wine and light whiskey Palate: Light, fruity, strawberry Finish: short, nothing linger too much Overall: Very pleasant. Its not super complex, its light and fruity and easy to sip. I like to think of it more as a mixed drink more so than a bourbon - and if you go into it with that in mind, I i think you will enjoy it a lot

On the nose I get corn/grain followed by a light floral scent. You can definitely smell some of the rose. After a while things move into almost a raw cookie dough, where the raw flour and brown and white sugars come through. The vanilla starts to creaps in more which makes me think even more about that raw cookie dough vibe. First sip, I almost immediately taste a light bourbon (grain/oak/vanilla) and sweet strawberry. I am not sure if that was my mind or not, but an real initial hit of strawberry. Eventually the flavors fade and i have to search a little more for the fruity flavor. There is a little spice but at 94 proof, the spice definitely falls off quickly. Finally, I am left with more strawberry but it is more an under/unripe strawberry where you get more earthy/grassy elements of the fruit. It is pretty thin and the finish is short. I think some of that is the fact that this seems to be more of a delicate flavor profile and it is a lower proof. Also, the finish is almost like a light rose wine, which in normally a bad thing for bourbon; but in this case, seems appropriate.

Wow! Strawberry on the nose which transfers to the palet. Light like a Rye with the Strawberry sweetness transfering to the palette. It leaves you with a bit of heat and dark chocolate!

Just an amazing bourbon. Sweet but super light yet still packs a punch. Even a little heat at the end. Great balance!

Flowery, spicy, good bite.
