Penelope Toasted Barrel Finish Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a distinctive limited release that highlights the innovation and creativity driving one of America’s fastest-growing whiskey brands. Founded in 2018, Penelope Bourbon has become known for its four-grain mash bill—corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley—that delivers exceptional balance and complexity. The Toasted Barrel Finish release takes that foundation and elevates it through a second maturation in custom-toasted barrels, producing a bourbon with remarkable depth, richness, and character.

The whiskey begins as Penelope’s straight bourbon, aged in new charred American oak barrels to develop its classic structure of caramel, vanilla, and oak. After initial aging, it is transferred into specially crafted toasted barrels, where the slower, gentler heat treatment of the oak allows for a deeper interaction between spirit and wood. This finishing process enhances sweetness and layers in warm notes of spice, toasted sugar, and roasted nuts, while preserving the smooth, approachable style Penelope is known for.

As with all of Penelope’s limited releases, each batch of Toasted Barrel Finish carries its own nuances, reflecting the individuality of the barrels chosen and the unique character of the secondary maturation. Bottled at varying proofs to preserve authenticity and texture, it offers enthusiasts a chance to experience bourbon with both elegance and boldness.

Presentation underscores its modern luxury appeal, with sleek labeling and batch-specific details that highlight its small-batch origins. Limited availability makes every bottle a collectible addition, especially for fans of Penelope’s cask finish series.

For bourbon lovers, Penelope Toasted Barrel Finish is more than just a finished whiskey—it is a testament to craftsmanship, experimentation, and the versatility of America’s native spirit. By combining a balanced four-grain recipe with the unique influence of toasted oak, Penelope has created a bourbon that is as innovative as it is refined.
