Production & Aging

Penelope Four Grain Barrel Strength Bourbon is a blend of three MGP-sourced bourbon mash bills, incorporating four grains: corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley. Each component is aged separately for approximately 4 to 5 years in new American oak barrels with #4 char staves and #2 char heads. The bourbons are then blended and bottled uncut and non-chill filtered, resulting in a robust and full-flavored expression.

Distinctive Characteristics

• Four Grain Blend: Combines corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley, offering a balanced and complex flavor profile.
• Barrel Strength: Bottled uncut at cask strength, providing an intense and authentic bourbon experience.
• Non-Chill Filtered: Retains more congeners and esters, contributing to a richer mouthfeel and depth of flavor.

Ideal Serving Suggestions

• Neat: To fully appreciate its robust and complex flavors.
• With a Splash of Water: Opens up additional aromas and softens the high proof, enhancing the tasting experience.
• On the Rocks: Chilling can mellow the intensity, making it more approachable while maintaining its distinctive character.

Please note that as a barrel strength bourbon, the proof and flavor nuances may vary between batches, offering a unique tasting experience with each release.
