Penelope Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the flagship expression from Penelope Bourbon, a brand that has rapidly gained recognition for its modern approach to American whiskey. Founded in 2018 and named after the founder’s daughter, Penelope reflects both family heritage and a commitment to craftsmanship. Unlike many traditional bourbons, Penelope is built on a four-grain mash bill—corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley—creating a uniquely balanced profile that highlights sweetness, spice, and smoothness in perfect harmony.
The bourbon is crafted from hand-selected barrels sourced and blended to showcase consistency and depth. Each grain plays an important role: corn provides the foundation of classic bourbon richness, wheat adds a soft and rounded texture, rye contributes bright spice and complexity, and malted barley enhances structure and balance. After aging in new charred American oak barrels, the whiskey is bottled at 80 proof, making it approachable while still retaining the character that defines Penelope’s style.
What sets Penelope Straight Bourbon apart is its versatility. It is refined enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks, yet dynamic enough to shine in cocktails, from the Old Fashioned to the Whiskey Sour. This balance of accessibility and quality has made it a favorite among both enthusiasts and those new to bourbon.
Presented in a clean, modern bottle design, Penelope Straight Bourbon reflects the brand’s youthful energy and commitment to innovation while staying true to bourbon tradition. It stands not only as the foundation of the Penelope lineup but also as a statement of how contemporary blending can redefine expectations for a flagship bourbon.
For whiskey drinkers, Penelope Straight Bourbon Whiskey is more than an entry point—it is a showcase of balance, authenticity, and forward-thinking craftsmanship. It remains a cornerstone of the brand’s portfolio and a symbol of why Penelope has become one of the most talked-about new names in American whiskey.
