Tennessee Whiskey
Pennington Distilling Co
70% corn, 25% rye, 5% malted barley
Nose
Soft and subdued compared to the bourbon and rye. Gentle corn sweetness without heavy aromatic intensity.
Palate
Smooth and well-balanced across the entire palate—front, middle, and back register evenly. Retains viscosity and mouthfeel without losing character through the Lincoln County charcoal mellowing process.
Finish
Smooth with lingering sweetness and balance that lives up to the 'smooth as Tennessee whiskey' descriptor.
Overall Score
4.3 / 5
A refined Tennessee whiskey that proves the charcoal-mellowing process need not strip character, delivering smoothness with retained complexity and viscosity.
