Four Distinct Penelope Whiskeys, One Complete Collection — 4 x 750mL
This bundle brings together four expressions that showcase the full range of what Penelope Bourbon does best — from an ultra-aged, limited-edition Estate Collection flagship to the brand's everyday Classic Series staples and its acclaimed high-proof Barrel Strength line. Together, they give collectors and everyday drinkers alike a complete look at Penelope's craft, from approachable 92-proof sippers to a rare 13-year cask-influenced centerpiece.
Penelope 13 Year Founders Reserve — Estate Collection
Penelope Founders Reserve represents the brand's passion for discovering and sharing truly special, well-aged whiskey. This 2026 release is an Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey distilled from a three-grain mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, barreled in December 2012 and matured a full 13 years in Warehouse E. Bottled at 101.4 proof, it's a bourbon shaped entirely by time and patience — sourced from barrels selected specifically for the depth and balance that only extended aging can deliver.
Nose: Deep caramel, vanilla, dark cherry, orange peel, and seasoned oak. Body: Roasted pecan, brown sugar, chocolate, and lingering rye spice. Best enjoyed: Neat in a Glencairn, allowed to rest a few minutes to fully open.
Penelope Straight Rye — Classic Series
Part of Penelope's Classic Series, this straight rye is crafted for a balanced, approachable spice profile with layered complexity, distilled from a mash bill of 93% rye and 7% malted barley. Bottled at 92 proof and non-chill filtered, it offers more texture and depth than lower-proof rye while staying accessible for everyday drinking and classic rye cocktails alike.
Nose: Spearmint, citrus zest, and butterscotch. Body: Brown sugar, honeyed corn, cinnamon, and creamy mint. Best enjoyed: Neat, on the rocks, or in a Manhattan, Sazerac, or Old Fashioned.
Penelope Kentucky Straight Bourbon — Classic Series
The everyday-sipping counterpart to the Classic Series rye, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon combines balance and depth in an unmistakably Penelope way. Built on a classic 3-grain mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley and aged in new American oak, it's modern, refined, and smooth — versatile enough for daily enjoyment while still showing real character. Bottled at 92 proof.
Nose: Butterscotch, vanilla bean, candied orange, and toasted sugar. Body: Caramel, charred oak, dark chocolate, and warm spice. Best enjoyed: Neat, over ice, or as the base for any classic bourbon cocktail.
Penelope 7 Year Barrel Strength Bourbon — Limited Release
Penelope's most acclaimed high-proof line takes a major step forward with this 7-year age statement — a first for the Barrel Strength series, which has historically been released without one. Blended from four distinct straight bourbon mash bills, each aged a full seven years in hand-selected new American oak barrels, the result is a rye-forward four-grain blend (70% corn, 23% rye, 5% malted barley, 2% malted rye) bottled completely uncut and non-chill filtered at 115.2 proof (57.6% ABV). Barrel Strength has earned dozens of spirits industry awards in recent years, including Double Platinum honors at the ASCOT Awards.
Nose: Pecans, dried apricot, and hints of vanilla. Body: Caramel, toffee, leather, pecans, and orange zest. Finish: White pepper, cinnamon, and brown sugar with lingering caramel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in this bundle?
Four 750mL bottles: Penelope 13 Year Founders Reserve (Estate Collection), Penelope Straight Rye (Classic Series), Penelope Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Classic Series), and Penelope 7 Year Barrel Strength Bourbon (Limited Release).
What makes the 13 Year Founders Reserve special?
It's a genuinely rare, extended-age release — barreled in December 2012 and matured a full 13 years before bottling. This level of age is uncommon even among premium bourbons, and each year's Founders Reserve batch is a distinct, limited, single-lot bottling.
What's new about the Barrel Strength in this bundle?
This is Penelope's first-ever age-stated Barrel Strength release. Previous Barrel Strength batches were typically released without an age statement (usually 3.5–5 years); this 2026 edition carries a full 7-year age statement across all four blended mash bills.
What's the difference between the Classic Series bourbon and rye?
The Classic Series Bourbon uses a 3-grain mash bill (78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley) for a balanced, everyday sipping profile. The Classic Series Rye uses a 93% rye, 7% malted barley mash bill for a spicier, more approachable rye character. Both are bottled at 92 proof.
Which bottle in this set is the highest proof?
Penelope 7 Year Barrel Strength Bourbon is the highest proof in the set at 115.2 proof (57.6% ABV), bottled completely uncut and non-chill filtered.
Is the Founders Reserve a limited release?
Yes. Each year's Estate Collection Founders Reserve is a limited, single-lot bottling sourced from specific barrels, meaning the exact profile, proof, and availability change from year to year.
Are these good for cocktails, or best enjoyed neat?
Both Classic Series bottles are versatile enough for classic cocktails (Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, Sazeracs) as well as neat sipping. The Founders Reserve and Barrel Strength are best appreciated neat, given their extended aging and higher proof, though a splash of water can help open up their deeper flavor notes.
