An easy-sipping dram designed to please everyone at the BBQ.

Mike Paladini and his wife Kerry had long agreed that if they had a daughter she would be named Penelope. In 2018 they had that daughter, named her as intended, and founded Penelope Bourbon at the same time with Mike’s childhood friend Danny Polise. As many start-up Spirits companies do, they have launched with a little outside help. In this case distilling and aging in Indiana at MGP and expert blending and bottling assistance from Castle Rock in Kentucky — whom they proudly call part of their team. And the team is working, with two successful releases under their belt and a fistful of awards already in hand.

Penelope Bourbon is a blend of three Spirits — two rye-based and one wheat-based with the same aging profile. Two of them are aged two years (one is aged three) in barrels that have a #4 char on the staves and the heads have a #2 char. And as it should be, the Bourbon is non-chill-filtered to preserve the most flavor and character. And although they have a higher-proof version, this one is for sipping neat as is at 40% ABV.

Adam
Adam,
It was an enjoyable experience, perfect introduction into whiskey.
 
Corey
Corey,
Flavorful and very smooth. Nice on the pallette. Subtle burn on the finish. Overall a very good whiskey.
 
Mike
Mike,
Minty nose. Flavor rolls from vanilla to butterscotch to orange. Finishes spicy. A fun whiskey for tasting and a tasty one for casual drinking.
 
Gregory
Gregory,
This is not a bourbon I will ever want to buy. I’m a straight up or on the rocks drinker. This bourbon I am going to have to use as a mixer.
 
Michael
Michael,
Smooth, nice sweetness.
 
Chris
Chris,
This is a surprisingly smooth bourbon and a great value! I’m going to be ordering more.
 
Nancy
Nancy,
This is a nice whiskey to sip neat. Complex profile with a lovely smooth finish.
 
Tanya
Tanya,
Wasn't great. Wasn't bad. Didn't detect any key flavors.
 
Analea
Analea,
This is smoooooth alone but I like a kick so it’s a fantastic sour mixer, etc.
 
Steve
Steve,
Light flavors and smooth.
 
Glenn
Glenn,
Smooth and light. To me it is a good "out on the porch" bourbon. to me it does not carry a lot of body and therefore best straight and not for cocktails. Has a sweetness to it that is refreshing. I don't think this would work well against say a cigar and would get lost in the pairing.
 
Maurice
Maurice,
Smooth, light, great old fashioned bourbon with lemon peel and oils !!!
 
Katherine
Katherine,
Disappointed, slightly bitter and hard to distinguish flavors. Not enough heart and too much tail and head with an overpowering ethanol flavor. Hard on the pallette.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Very solid bourbon, some bourbons mix flavors but this was a classic flavor more than most and very enjoyable.
 
Chris
Chris,
Almost like a desert. Some sweet upfront and very smooth finish
 
Nicholas
Nicholas,
I enjoyed this bourbon very much. Smooth and sweet, but with the right amount of spice and fruity notes. On the rocks or neat, very enjoyable.
 
Kelly
Kelly,
So polished, mild, and easy-drinking. Great intro blended bourbon.

Fantastic! Nice easy drinking bourbon.
 
Michael

Nice bourbon, a little light. Would be good with a BBQ. Also would make a good summer evening sipper.
 
Tom
Tom,
Good bourbon. But nothing spectacular or noteworthy. I’d drink it again but probably wouldn’t buy it again.
 
Patrick
Patrick,
Enjoyable neat, definitely would pair well with smoked meat or BBQ
 
Mike

This was a very sweet bourbon for me, much more than I was expecting, the bottle did not last long.
 
Jake
Jake,
For a young bourbon this has a nice palate to enjoy neat.
 
William
William,
Not as sweet as I was expecting. A little more alcohol splash than I prefer. Will drink the bottle but will not go back for more.
 
Greg
Greg,
Great all around bourbon!
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Pretty strong tasting alcohol is all i tasted
 
Clifford
Clifford,
Not my cup of tea. Started it as always neat over my soapstone cubes and just didn't like it at all. Did what I very rarely do and had my second drink from it over ice. Only way I'll drink it. Would not get again.
 
Keith
Keith,
Starts out with the typical cherry flavor but then quickly fades and ends on a very thin flat note.
 
William
William,
Wasn’t my absolute favorite, maybe a bit to much stick-flavor. Writing this review 2 months after I emptied the bottle.
 
Stan
Stan,
Very smooth, light. I can only imagine how good the cask strength is. I'd buy this again

Not the best bourbon I have tried but was good.

Smooth but unsophisticated. Easy to drink. good value

Smooth. No burn. Nice on the rocks

This was one of the most smooth and enjoyable Bourbons I've experienced. Granted, my knowledge is very limited but it was great over ice, or mixed.

Nice and smooth. Very light and one I think my wife or a bourbon novice could drink neet
 
Bruce
Bruce,
Not bad, but too light in flavor.

Marriann

bitey but not to much to not enjoy straight.
 
Lisa
Lisa,
I like Penelope. She is my office bourbon and is perfect at the end of a hard day. not too heavy, not too spicy, and smooth enough to drink neat.
 
Robert
Robert,
It was middle of the road and so everyone knows I am comparing it to Horse Soldier Small Batch a bit higher but that is my new standard.
 
Tim
Tim,
Didn’t enjoy.. not a lot of flavor.
 
Kevin
Kevin,
A tasty treat, with a little spice but doesn’t finish harshly.

I'm am not a Bourbon guy, but this was smoother than I expected. Went well with a Southern Draw Rose of Sharon cigar.

This was an exquisite bottle of Bourbon for the money. Smooth with a little bite but not harsh. Very flavorful. Would recommend to anyone.
