Penelope Bourbon has announced that Penelope Rosé Cask Finish Batch 8, the 2024 edition, is available now on a limited allocation.
This marries Penelope’s signature Four Grain straight bourbon whiskey with rosé wine casks from France. The bourbon finished in Grenache rosé wine casks from the Southern Rhône region.
Rosé Cask Finish comes bottled at 94 proof, with a mash bill of 74% corn, 16% wheat, 7% rye and 3% malted barley.
“Rosé Cask Finish was our first-ever release in our Cooper Series and has always been well received by consumers,” says Michael Paladini, founder of Penelope Bourbon. “Batch 8 offers a wonderful combination of sweet and delicate flavor, perfect for the summer, at a new shelf price of $49.99. This highly anticipated release offers something truly special for bourbon and wine enthusiasts alike.”
The bourbon has an aroma of candied fruit and cream with floral and herbal notes, the company reports. Forward notes include sweet hints of vanilla, before a a body that transitions from sweetness to herbal, floral and strawberry cream. The finish has hints of vanilla and strawberry.
“Finishing our signature Four Grain bourbon in hand-selected rosé casks from Southern France creates a distinctive flavor alliance,” says Daniel Polise, founder and master blender of Penelope Bourbon. “I think consumers will appreciate the elegant and memorable look and taste of Rosé Cask Finish.”
The suggested retail price is $49.99 per 750-ml. bottle.
Rosé Cask Finish is one of four offerings in the Cooper Series, which takes Penelope’s straight whiskeys on a world tour. Other releases in the series include Rio, Tokaji Cask Finish and Valencia.
