Penelope Bourbon Rosé Cask Finish

Bourbon — USA

Reviewed September 7, 2023 (edited September 8, 2023)
3.75
3.75 out of 5 stars
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.
