When Penelope began exploring toasted finishes, the team did not expect each barrel to be so different, so they embraced the variety of chars and toasts that makes every bottle in the series one of a kind. While each bottle's profile is hard to predict, the deep vanilla notes imbued by toasting add another dimension to Penelope's signature flavour profile, whether from a heavy or a medium toast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect rich vanilla and caramel enhanced by toasted oak, with notes of butterscotch and honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach bottle a unique expression of toasted oak, it makes a fine gift for bourbon explorers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or on a large cube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years.
