Penelope Architect is a straight bourbon whiskey bottled at 104 proof (52% ABV). Rather than a traditional barrel finish, Architect is finished with French oak staves, measured using Penelope's Oakscan technology to gauge the wood's polyphenol content. The nose offers candied cream and floral notes with a hint of creme brulee. The palate brings sweet vanilla and viscous cream alongside savory oak, cinnamon, leather and cacao, leading to a long, rich vanilla finish with the full spectrum of French oak.
