About Penelope Toasted Rye Barrel Finish
Penelope Toasted Rye is a straight rye whiskey finished in freshly toasted barrels, delivering a unique balance of spice and sweetness. Bottled at 100 proof, this annual release features a 95% rye and 5% malted barley mashbill aged for 6 years before finishing in char 2, heavy toast barrels. What makes it special is the toasting process, which imparts deep vanilla and caramel notes that complement traditional rye spice. It's ideal for rye enthusiasts seeking complexity without harshness, and at $37.50 for 750ml, it offers excellent value compared to premium rye whiskeys in its category. The toasted barrel finish sets it apart from standard rye expressions, making it approachable yet layered.
