Penelope Rio Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made with a four‑grain mash bill of 74% corn, 16% wheat, 7% rye, and 3% malted barley. Even more defining is the double cask finish - first in American honey barrels, which impart a natural sweetness and silky texture, and then in Amburana wood, a rare Brazilian hardwood known for its intense aromatics and spice.
On the palate, Penelope Rio Straight Bourbon Whiskey is silky, oily, and rich, coating the mouth with unconventional sweetness. Instead of the typical caramel‑vanilla bourbon profile, it offers banana‑like yellow fruit, peanut, sugarcane, cinnamon, and honey. The heat builds gradually, balanced by honeyed richness and a peppery kick. Some tasters note a metallic copper tinge and a smoky ember finish, giving it a rugged, outdoorsy feel. The sweetness is nostalgic, reminiscent of candy cigarettes or salt‑water taffy, while the Amburana spice keeps it lively and complex.
92 points from Whisky Advocate, Double Gold Award in the American Blended Whiskey at the SIP Awards… Penelope Rio Straight Bourbon Whiskey is one for the collectors and adventurous drinkers.
A rare Amburana wood finish seldom seen in American whiskey, combined with honey barrel aging - Penelope Rio Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a must try if you want to broaden your whiskey knowledge. It's something to experience, not just read about.
