The Everyday Four-Grain From Penelope
Before the barrel-strength batches and toasted experiments, there was this: Penelope's core straight bourbon, a four-grain blend of three mash bills married in Bardstown and bottled at an easygoing 80 proof. The wheat in the recipe keeps it soft and approachable — the bottle built for weeknight pours and cocktails alike. See the full Penelope lineup, or shop the store's bourbon shelf.
Tasting Notes
Caramel and vanilla with soft wheat bread and light oak, a touch of cinnamon on the mid-palate. Smooth and mellow at 80 proof — nothing harsh, nothing hidden.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks for an easy sipper; the soft profile shines in a whiskey sour, Gold Rush, or highball. A natural mixing bourbon that doesn't taste like one.
