Penelope Bourbon Announces 17 Year Old American Light Whiskey
Penelope Bourbon has announced its third limited release of American Light Whiskey.
The third release of Penelope American Light Whiskey was crafted from a mash bill of 99% corn and 1% malted barley distilled at 189 proof in 2006 at Seagram’s (now the Ross & Squibb Distillery) in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. The whiskey was aged for 17 years in second-fill oak barrels and bottled at a cask strength of 138.8 proof (69.4% ABV).
Penelope American Light Whiskey 17 Year Old is described as having aromas of “butterscotch, cake batter, and cotton candy.” The palate exhibits flavors of “brown sugar, vanilla bean ice cream, and light orchard fruits.” The finish is “lingering with notes of light butter, waffle cone, and powdered sugar.”
Penelope American Light Whiskey 17 Year Old will be available in limited quantities, in select markets, beginning in February for a suggested retail price of $99.99 per 750 mL bottle.
