Penelope Architect Straight Bourbon
About the Spirit
Penelope Architect Straight Bourbon distinguishes itself with a meticulously crafted flavor profile, primarily emphasizing caramel and vanilla, underpinned by oak and a hint of spice. This bourbon delivers a smooth, subtly sweet taste, culminating in a warm, lingering finish. Distilled and bottled in Fort Wayne, Indiana, at the Three Rivers Distillery, it stands as a testament to American craftsmanship, utilizing a four-grain blend of corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley from across the United States. The choice location of Fort Wayne is instrumental in the bourbon's creation, offering high-quality water that is fundamental to the distillation process, further enhancing the bourbon's refined taste. Penelope Bourbon's double pot distillation in copper stills, followed by aging in new charred American oak barrels, imparts this spirit with its distinct character and complexity. A standout feature of Penelope Architect Straight Bourbon is its utilization of the Solera process for blending, which guarantees flavor consistency across batches. This technique, combined with the unique characteristics imbued by the French Oak during aging, introduces a layer of complexity to the palate with notes of cinnamon, oak, leather, and a surprising floral aspect, concluding with a finish rich in coffee bean, vanilla, and cacao nibs. Penelope Architect Straight Bourbon is an exercise in balance and complexity, appealing to those who value a well-rounded, nuanced flavor experience in their bourbon selection.
