Penelope Bourbon has announced the second annual release of its Toasted Rye Whiskey. The first small batch expression won double gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
“After aging the rye whiskey for six years prior to finishing, this year’s release resulted in a profile that we believe will really stand out,” said Daniel Polise, founder and master blender of Penelope Bourbon. “The char 2 profile of the finishing barrels used brought out rich butterscotch notes to the blend of selected barrels, adding additional layers and depth to a great rye whiskey.”

Mash bill: 95% rye, 5% malted barley.
Tasting notes (from the distillery): “Penelope Toasted Rye features a layered aroma on the nose with bold, sweet butterscotch and a body of vanilla and toasted marshmallow balanced with notes of light tobacco and fruit. Toasted Rye’s long finish has a sweet dessert character with orange peel and subtle spice.”
SRP: $74.99 (750 ml)
“After what we achieved with last year’s release, we are really excited for our second installment. Our first Toasted Rye scored 99 points at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and we’re confident this release will be equally well received.”
