Experience a bourbon that perfectly captures the warm, glowing essence of a Southern California sunset. Nestor Liquor is exceptionally proud to present our new, hand-selected single barrel: Penelope Toasted Bourbon Barrel Strength 'SoCal Sunset Ember'. This is Penelope's celebrated Toasted Bourbon, bottled at its natural cask strength, from one specific barrel chosen by and bottled exclusively for the Nestor Liquor team.
The magic of this bourbon comes from its unique cask. This single barrel, made of Char #3 oak, was then subjected to a Heavy Toast. This dual process deeply caramelizes the natural sugars in the wood, creating a rich, smoky-sweet, and decadent profile that beautifully complements Penelope's signature four-grain bourbon mashbill.
This specific single barrel will be a must-have for fans of the highly sought-after "Penelope Toasted Marshmallow." The heavy toast on this four-grain mashbill creates a very similar, decadent, and dessert-like flavor profile.
This is a true "Private Select" single barrel, meaning this exact flavor profile is a one-time-only offering. Bottled at a robust 110 proof (55% ABV), 'SoCal Sunset Ember' is full-bodied and incredibly flavorful, without an overpowering burn.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A rich and decadent bouquet of toasted marshmallow, crème brûlée, dark chocolate, and a hint of smoky, glowing oak.
Palate: A viscous and full-bodied palate. Waves of burnt caramel, vanilla bean, and toasted pecan are perfectly balanced by a warm, peppery spice and a deep, satisfyingly smoky char.
Finish: An exceptionally long and warming finish, true to its "Sunset Ember" name. Lingering notes of s'mores, cinnamon, and sweet, toasted oak.
As your preferred partner for exclusive picks, Nestor Liquor is the only place to find the 'SoCal Sunset Ember' single barrel. Add this piece of toasted perfection to your collection before it's gone for good.
