Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

This bourbon pours with a velvety mouthfeel and a warm, caramel-tinged sweetness that lingers smoothly on the palate, offering hints of vanilla, oak, and dried fruit as you sip. Penelope Bourbon Private Select Estate Collection 10Yr is crafted in the United States, bottled after a decade of maturation in carefully chosen barrels, a true testament to slow, selective aging. It carries an ABV of 0.5%, making it an unusually light-footed option in its category while still delivering soft depth and balanced character. Use it as a centerpiece for a relaxed tasting or pairing moment, perhaps enjoyed with a square of dark chocolate for a rich, cocoa-kissed finish or alongside smoked cheese to echo the smoky notes that emerge on the finish.
