Award-winning small-batch straight rye
whiskey returns
ROSELLE, N.J.,
July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Penelope's second release in its
annual Straight Rye Whiskey Toasted Series is now available. The
first-ever release of Penelope Toasted Rye Whiskey achieved high
acclaim at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition by
scoring 99 points and winning Double Gold.
This year's expression is the result of finishing a very
special, hand-selected 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash bill in
new freshly toasted barrels. Penelope Toasted Rye Whiskey
(Batch 24-304) is on shelf now with a limited allocation of 9,000
(6-in) cases at a minimum suggested retail price of $74.99 per 750mL bottle.
"After what we achieved with last year's release, we are really
excited for our second installment," said Michael Paladini,
founder of Penelope Bourbon. "Our
first Toasted Rye scored 99 points at the San Francisco World
Spirits Competition, and we're confident this release will be
equally well received."
Penelope Toasted Rye features a layered aroma on the nose with
bold, sweet butterscotch and a body of vanilla and toasted
marshmallow balanced with notes of light tobacco and fruit. Toasted
Rye's long finish has a sweet dessert character with orange peel
and subtle spice.
"After aging the rye whiskey for six years prior to finishing,
this year's release resulted in a profile that we believe will
really stand out," said Daniel Polise, founder and master
blender of Penelope Bourbon. "The
char 2 profile of the finishing barrels used brought out rich
butterscotch notes to the blend of selected barrels, adding
additional layers and depth to a great rye whiskey."
