Tasting notes

- sweet cream, rich caramel and vanilla bean, with delicate rose water, ripe banana and dried plum

75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley — Penelope's three-grain high-rye bourbon recipe; after a decade in oak the rye shows as light spice and tobacco beneath cream, caramel and ripe fruit.

Why it's craft
A single hand-selected barrel with a transparent 10-year age statement and published three-grain mash — a blender's barrel-by-barrel selection rather than a blend.
