Penelope Havana (Batch 2)

The Nose: This is what I imagine Eggo waffles swimming in a half a stick of butter and maple syrup would smell like. I'd buy a candle if it smelled like this, phenomenal. The Palate: Matches the nose, just a maple sugar bomb in a very pleasant way. Enjoyable. Super sweet, no burn, tasting it blind, I'd be curious to see how many people think they're drinking . a mixed drink. Definitely a dessert whiskey, something that will bewilder and please your whiskey drinking buddies. The flavor dances between maple, sugar, oak, hint of ethanol, overall I find it delicious. The Finish: Long, sticky, some oak and a reminder that says "oh yea, this maple syrup I'm sipping IS a whiskey!". Overall: I broke my own rule and bought a backup bottle. This is unique, definitely in the dessert category, it might not be something I'll have more than one of in an evening, but the one pour I do have will be enjoyed.

Very nice flavor and sweet finish. It is such a good bottle. Another Penelope hitter for sure!

This bottle is absolute absurdity. It is the sweetest whiskey I've ever tried, very full on the mid pallet, with some very pleasent floral notes and a bit of spice. This is my first foray into "dessert bourbon", and if it's your type of thing, I would absolutely recommend.
