Blend of Straight Whiskies — A Collaboration with F*ck Cancer
Cancer hits us all. Penelope Bourbon created this blend to hit back, in honor of a teammate who lost someone they loved. Five years later, it's become something bigger — an annual opportunity to bring people together, support the fight, and honor the stories behind every battle.
Batch 5 continues Penelope's partnership with F*ck Cancer, the nonprofit changing the way people think about cancer through prevention, early detection, and support. To commemorate this release, Penelope Bourbon has pledged $250,000 in support of F*ck Cancer's mission to help those affected by this relentless disease.
Let this be more than bourbon. Let it be a toast to resilience, to community, and to a future without cancer — because bourbon's better with meaning, and this one means everything.
This limited release is a blend of straight whiskies built on a 4-grain mash bill, distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, aged 6 years, and bottled at a bold 101 proof. Made in small batches, each bottle carries the same commitment to quality and purpose behind every Penelope release.
