Penelope Bourbon has announced its 2025 Estate Collection, featuring five distinct expressions with a minimum age statement of 10 years old.
The collection has undergone an expansion and now includes a reimagined Founders Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, the introduction of the new Omega Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in omega French oak barrels, and the single barrel and private select bourbons.
"We are excited to introduce Omega as part of the Estate Collection – we've been experimenting with these French Oak finishing casks, built by the Radoux Cooperage, which utilizes oak from the most prestigious French forests," said Penelope founder and master blender, Danny Polise. "In addition, our 2025 Founders Reserve is a 13-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon which stands as a solid pour, along with our award-winning 10-year Private Select blend and Single Barrel straight bourbon offerings."
