Description

Penelope Bourbon was crafted and created in a classic American tradition – to celebrate an impending birth of a child. In 2018, founder Mike Paladini and his wife, Kerry, found out they were expecting a baby girl, Penelope. To commemorate this occasion, Mike quickly realized he wanted to create a spirit that embodied the daily joy of celebrating life’s pleasures – big and small.

Teaming up with his close childhood friend and neighbor, Danny Polise, they set out to discover and produce a Straight Bourbon Whiskey everyone could appreciate and enjoy. A company was born.

Today, Penelope Bourbon is sold in over 26 states nationwide and 4 countries. Proving that with enough love and care, and hard work, anything is possible.

Holly’s Tasting Notes: Tons of creamy baking spices, clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. A kettle and caramel popcorn type sweetness but not a heavy sweet, a lighter sweet even with some juicy red grapes and plums in there. Some buttered toast with fig jam on top. The palate continues with a rush of spice. Cinnamon and oak spice but very bright. Roasted apples with a long finish of blackberry jam on slightly burnt toast.
