Penelope Toasted Bourbon (Char 2, Heavy Toasted)

Not bad. But compared to my favorite (Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel), this one hits a little different. Definitely more smoke/char in this one and i feel like the overall flavor dissipates quickly.

CHAR - 2 , TOAST - Heavy NEAT NOSE - Light Brown Sugar, Honey, and Caramel PALATE - Velvety mouthfeel with sweet, sweet honey FINISH - Short, but very pleasant with no burn or spice BUY AGAIN?? This is good, but for a next bottle I’d like to get either a cask strength or store pick. I’ve seen Cask Strengths with a proof of 110 and I’ve seen a Total Wine Pick at 115 proof. Im sure then, this nice toasted bourbon would be closer to 4, maybe 4+ stars.

It tastes like liquid dissappointment. It is young, and that always tastes like a freshly mowed field. The toast helps mask that flavor, but not good enough. Wish I tried it before I bought it, would have saved 62 beans. For anyone on the fence, skip it.

Disappointing. Not good enough flavor. Kind of bitter for me. Might be too young. Finished a little hotter than 100 for me too
