Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Penelope Founders Reserve represents our passion for discovering and sharing truly special whiskey. Aged 13 years, this year’s release is a bourbon shaped by time and patience in the barrel. It’s a bourbon that’s been given the space to develop real character. Sourced from Bardstown’s best, it’s made for those who know a good pour when they see one. Some barrels have a way of speaking for themselves.
