A little background
The Penelope Estate Collection Private Select 9 Year Bourbon is a testament to craftsmanship and innovation, showcasing the finest of Penelope’s aged barrel stocks. This annual release celebrates the art of blending with a masterful mash bill of 74% corn, 20% rye, 1% wheat, and 5% barley malt. Aged for nine years, distilled in Indiana and Kentucky, and bottled at a robust 101.2 proof, this bourbon is non-chill filtered to preserve its rich character. With a retail price of $65 USD, Batch #24-201 highlights Penelope’s commitment to crafting exceptional, high-quality whiskey.
