Penelope Barrel Strength Four-Grain Bourbon
Barrel Strength 3-4 years Bourbon Penelope $58.99 Four-grain (blend of weeded bourbon, rye bourbon, corn, and malted barley)

Rich and sweet with syrupy notes, subtle floral character, hints of vanilla, and fruity elements reminiscent of fresh cut strawberries. Similar nose profile to Four Roses with a delicate balance of sweetness.

Immediate sweetness up front with prominent pop rocks effect that tingles across the entire palate. Cinnamon spice and red chewing gum qualities. Not overpowering; syrupy in flavor but lighter in texture. Subtle Kentucky hug with just enough spice to acknowledge the bourbon's presence without being aggressive.

Medium to long finish with black pepper notes on the back palate. The pop rocks sensation dominates rather than heavier oak notes, suggesting potential for greater depth with additional aging.

Noteworthy
A beautifully presented, well-made craft bourbon with an engaging and unique pop rocks mouthfeel that delivers sweetness and gentle spice without heaviness, making it an excellent sipper for bourbon enthusiasts.
