Penelope Rosé Cask Finish is a straight bourbon finished in hand-selected French rosé wine casks from the Southern Rhône, bottled at 94 proof (47% ABV).
It is the first installment in Penelope's Cooper Series, which takes the brand's straight whiskeys on a world tour by pairing them with wine casks from the finest winemaking regions. Sweet and delicate, it marries Penelope's signature straight bourbon with French rosé casks, bringing together a truly unique alliance of flavor.
The aroma offers candied fruit and cream with floral and herbal notes. Forward notes are sweet and refreshing, with vanilla and viscous cream, and the creamy sweetness carries into a body of herbal, floral and strawberry cream notes. The finish is rich and creamy vanilla with hints of strawberry.
The pink-accented bottle makes it a lovely gift.
Bourbon 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. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Rosé casks bring a light, fruity touch that suits bourbon's natural sweetness.
The Southern Rhône is known for refreshing, food-friendly rosé wines.
