Penelope 9 Year Private Select Barrel Strength Bourbon

Received a sample from a friend. 109 proof. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medíum amber. Nose: Caramel and fruit, with a hint of leather. Palate: Clove and baking spice. Surprising not hot. Finish: Warm but not very long. Splash: A mild minty note appears. Overall: 8.5/10 - This is a nicely complex bourbon, combining some unexpected notes with some more traditional ones. It definitely drinks well below 109 proof.

Burnt sugar cookie, oak,

9 year 109 proof for $69. You can't beat it. Not the moat complex but does nothing wrong.

BATCH #: 23-202 PROOF - 109 ABV: 54.5% NEAT NOSE - Loads of brown sugar balanced with caramel and oak. PALATE - Beautiful mouthfeel. Thick and viscous. Palate follows the nose. There is a hint of rye spice on the palate that is not noticeable on the nose. FINISH - Long, rich and sweet. BUY? - For sure. BUY AGAIN? - I would. They are currently doing these under their “Estate Collection”. I’m not running out to stock up on these but I would definitely buy another one when this one starts running low.

This one has quite a nice flavor profile with the complex finish. It gives you the nice bold flavor on the front end and that slow burn on the backend

Slight apple on the finish smooth
