Penelope Bourbon is known for finishing its whiskey in wine casks from around the world. The annual release of Penelope Valencia is here, offering Penelope Four Grain Straight Bourbon that spent time finishing in Vino de Naranja casks from Sevilla, Spain

“These are some of my favorite wine barrels to work with,” said Daniel Polise, founder and master blender of Penelope Bourbon. “The producer we partnered with from southern Spain creates exceptional orange wine, and this year’s release has fantastic, rich orange and citrus notes that really stand out from last year’s tangerine notes.”

ABV: 47.5%

“We’re constantly evolving and tweaking our processes with the goal of making our products better year-over-year. This year’s Valencia is a great example of that commitment, and we’re excited to share it for fans to enjoy.”
