Penelope is a leader in innovation. They've been consistently releasing top-notch barrel strengths. Occasionally, they surprise us. Penelope Bourbon Private Select explores new and unique expressions of their signature four grain straight bourbon whiskey. Usually every Private Select batch is a new and exclusive blend of three different bourbon mash bills... but you'll note the recipe we have today doesn't include rye or wheat, but is a 10 year old 99% corn recipe... This is the rare occasion where we found a single barrel we loved and decided not to blend anything else in.

The Rosé Cask Finish is one of the first bourbon's finished in French rosé wine casks. Seelbach's normally gets an annual allocation of these, but today take with one step further with our own selection! This bottle combines the signature Penelope Bourbon four grain blend with French Grenache Rosé Wine Casks from the Southern Rhône region. The combination creates a truly unique combination of flavor.
