Penelope Architect Bourbon
Penelope Architect Bourbon differentiates itself by using French oak, a common element in winemaking but less so in bourbon. Known for imparting subtler flavors like dark chocolate, coffee, and savory spices, the impact of the French oak is amplified by adding extra staves to the whiskey during the finishing process. Penelope uses a technology called Oakscan to measure the polyphenol tannin content in each wood stave, allowing the distillers to precisely customize what qualities they want to add to the whiskey.
Penelope Architect Bourbon is a blend of 3 mash bills comprised of four grains (corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley). It's then finished with 2 different types of oak staves—Delicate Stave (low tannin content) and Intense Stave (medium tannin). This bourbon gets better the longer you sip on it.
In conclusion, Penelope Architect Bourbon is a top-shelf bourbon that showcases the best of what Penelope Bourbon has to offer. It's a fine example of a bourbon and one that I would highly recommend to any bourbon enthusiast.

The bourbon strikes a nice balance between robust tannins and sweet creaminess. It's more complex than its age would suggest. At the $65 price point, it does enough to make a name for itself in a crowded field of competitors using toasted barrel or secondary charred oak barrel finishes.
