Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we crack open a half-finished bottle of Penelope Toasted Bourbon (because we’ve already been loving it) and dig into what makes it so damn tasty.
We cover:


🔥 The toasted barrel finish – what it is and why it matters


🛢️ Char level 5 – how intense barrel prep changes the profile


🌽 This Penelope’s mash bill (75% corn, 20% rye, 4% malted barley)


🪵 Vanilla, marshmallow, subtle campfire — this is the s’mores of bourbon


🥃 Why this might be our favourite Penelope yet


This one is a toasted treat — buttery sweet, lightly smoky, and seriously drinkable.
