A ‘light’ Whiskey that is going to light you up!

Bringing a brand new Bourbon into the world is almost like bringing a child. Both are super challenging but oh-so-rewarding in the end. At Penelope, these two events coincided as Mike Paladini and his wife Kerry found out they were expecting a baby girl in 2018. To celebrate this joie de vivre, Mike created a drink that captured the celebration of life’s small pleasures. He and his neighbor Danny Polise set out to make a Straight Bourbon Whiskey everyone would enjoy sipping—and they sure succeeded!

Penelope Founder’s Reserve Light Whiskey 13 Year Old is a special cookie. Marked as ‘Light,’ this tasty non-chill filtered Whiskey gives a new connotation to this common word. Bottled at an impressive 67.3% ABV and a corn-dominated mash bill made with 99% corn and 1% malted barley, there is almost nothing light about this Whiskey! In fact, it gives off solid notes of booze and crunchy corn-on-the-cob flavors. Matured in second-fill oak casks, this exceptional Whiskey oozes savory vanilla notes with a dash of cinnamon and creme brûlée. A proper dessert for any Whiskey lover or Whiskey noob!

Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.

Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.

Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

Yellowstone Bourbon has had several owners throughout its history, including J.B. Dant, D.H. Taylor, The Glenmore Distillery, United Distillers & Vintners, the David Sherman Company, Heaven Hill, and David Sherman (now known as Luxco).

Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
