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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep caramel, vanilla, dark cherry, orange peel, and seasoned oak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted pecan, brown sugar, chocolate, and lingering rye spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest enjoyed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neat in a Glencairn, allowed to rest a few minutes to fully open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #1f4a3f; margin-top: 35px;\"\u003ePenelope Straight Rye — Classic Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003ePart 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.
