“2026 Founders Reserve — 13-year Indiana straight bourbon, 75/21/4 mash, 120 entry proof, non-chill filtered at 101.4”
Tasting notes
- nose
- deep caramel, vanilla, dark cherry, orange peel and seasoned oak
- palate
- rich butterscotch, brown sugar, roasted pecan and baking spice, with dark fruit and a cocoa edge
- finish
- caramelized sugar and dark chocolate fade into seasoned oak, gentle rye spice and pipe tobacco
Mash bill
- Corn75%
- Rye21%
- Malted barley4%
75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley — the classic Lawrenceburg high-rye three-grain bourbon recipe, which Penelope calls its Master Blender's favorite mash bill; at 13 years the rye reads as gentle spice and tobacco under deep caramel and dark fruit rather than sharp pepper.
