Description
Penelope Rosé Cask Finish isn’t your typical bourbon. This innovative spirit breaks the mold by introducing a unique finishing touch that results in a delightful and unexpected flavor profile.
The Journey Begins
The foundation of this bourbon lies in Penelope’s signature four-grain straight whiskey. Aged for 4-5 years, it develops the classic characteristics of bourbon – notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasty oak. This provides a sturdy base for the intriguing twist to come.
French Twist
The magic happens when Penelope’s whiskey takes a final rest in hand-selected French Grenache Rosé wine casks from the Southern Rhône region. These casks, previously used to age rosé wine, impart a subtle yet undeniable influence on the bourbon.
Aromatic Allure
The first encounter with Penelope Rosé Cask Finish is through the nose. Breathe in, and you’ll be greeted by a delightful medley of aromas. Imagine candied strawberries and other sweet fruits mingling with hints of creamy vanilla. Underlying this sweetness are subtle floral notes and a touch of herbal earthiness, hinting at the complexities to come.
Flavorful Fusion
On the palate, Penelope Rosé Cask Finish takes you on a flavor adventure. The initial sweetness you experienced on the nose translates into a smooth wave of vanilla and rich, viscous cream. But then, the rosé influence emerges. Delicate hints of strawberry and other summer fruits dance across your tongue, beautifully complementing the classic bourbon notes. The herbal and floral aspects, previously detected in the aroma, add a touch of complexity, preventing the sweetness from becoming overpowering.
A Lingering Farewell
The finish is where Penelope Rosé Cask Finish truly shines. The rich creamy vanilla persists, intertwined with a whisper of strawberry. This sweetness gradually gives way to a savory aftertaste, leaving you wanting another sip to explore the unique symphony of flavors all over again.
