Penelope Barrel Strength Four Grain Bourbon
Barrel Strength 3-4 years Bourbon Penelope New Jersey, NJ $58.99 Four-grain blend (sourced from MGP)

Rich and sweet with syrupy notes, floral character, subtle vanilla, and fresh strawberry fruit notes. Four Roses-like profile with delicate complexity.

Very sweet upfront with pop rocks sensation across the tongue, cinnamon spice character reminiscent of cinnamon chewing gum, not overly spicy or viscous despite being unfiltered and barrel strength, tingling mid-palate effect that is unique and interesting.

Medium to long finish with black pepper notes and a light Kentucky hug that doesn't overpower the overall experience, relatively light despite barrel strength designation.

Recommended
A well-crafted young bourbon from a newer craft distillery with an engaging pop rocks spice profile and attractive presentation, solid for the price point and worthy of gifting to whiskey enthusiasts.
