Penelope Bourbon Barrel Strength Batch 12 Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Penelope Bourbon Barrel Strength Batch 12 is a limited annual release of Penelope's four-grain straight bourbon at natural cask strength — bottled without dilution or chill filtration, presenting the most concentrated and intense expression of the four-grain mash bill with the specific character of Batch 12's cask selection.

Each batch of Penelope Barrel Strength has a slightly different proof and character depending on the specific barrels selected for that release. Batch 12 represents the twelfth iteration of this program — barrel strength enthusiasts often track batches to compare how the character evolves from release to release. At full proof, the four-grain mash bill's caramel, vanilla, grain spice, and oak character are presented without the dilution that standard bottling introduces.
