Aged for nine years, distilled in Indiana and Kentucky, and bottled at a robust 101.2 proof, this bourbon is non-chill filtered to preserve its rich character.

In closing
Penelope Estate Collection Private Select 9 Year Bourbon offers a bright and inviting nose, though not overly complex, with notes of cherry, vanilla, and caramel that are sure to please. The palate delivers a lively burst of cherry, toasted caramel, and tangerine, creating an engaging initial flavor attack, though it leans slightly drying. While the mouthfeel is average and it drinks hotter than its 101.2 proof, the bright flavors and balance make up for it. The finish, with hints of baking spice, fudge, and caramel, is of average length but satisfying.
