Penelope Bourbon recently introduced its Estate Collection of limited-availability aged whiskey and bourbon releases. The Estate Collection includes Founders Reserve, Private Select, and Single Barrel. All are hand-selected single barrels of nine to eleven year old wheated whiskey.
“It was a thrill to explore the warehouses and hunt for the perfect barrels to create the collection,” said Danny Polise, Penelope Bourbon Founder and Master Blender. “We pride ourselves on the details in blending, and took a hands-on approach to find specific nuances and variations in order to curate these releases. The result is an outstanding premium collection illustrating the breadth of both fine distillate and blending.”

“Innovation and quality are at the heart of everything we do, and the 2024 Estate Collection takes those characteristics to an entirely new level. These three releases showcase the best of the best in our rick houses, allowing us to create one-of-a-kind aged whiskeys that take Penelope to new heights. Each product in the Estate Collection is unique – from the blend to the age and the mash bill. There’s something in this collection for everyone.”
