Penelope Architect The Blueprint Private Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a testament to precision blending and innovative craftsmanship. Hailing from Indiana, this bourbon is a collaboration between Penelope Bourbon and Tonnellerie Radoux of France, a leader in oak barrel manufacturing. Using their advanced OakScan® process, the French oak staves are meticulously selected to create a distinct flavor profile, emphasizing both tradition and modern innovation. The mash bill and stave combination ensure every barrel is unique, offering an experience rooted in complexity and refinement.
The tasting profile reveals a symphony of flavors, with rich caramel, toasted oak, and warm baking spices complemented by hints of vanilla and honey. The interplay between the French oak staves and the bourbon’s natural character adds a velvety texture and a touch of elegance, perfect for savoring. Its medium-bodied profile delivers balance and sophistication, making it suitable for both seasoned bourbon enthusiasts and those exploring high-end expressions.
This bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to unlock its layers, though its versatility also shines in classic cocktails. The precise blend of ingredients and innovative stave selection set Penelope Architect apart as a bold, forward-looking entry in the world of straight bourbon whiskey.
