Penelope Classic Series Kentucky Rye is a straight rye whiskey, non-chill filtered and bottled at 92 proof for extra texture and depth.
A smooth, flavorful straight rye from Penelope Bourbon's Classic Series, built for both sipping and cocktails, with a balanced profile of spice, sweetness, mint, citrus, oak, and warm baking notes. Bottled at 92 proof and non-chill filtered, it offers more texture and depth than lower-proof rye while staying approachable. The profile opens with butterscotch, vanilla bean, candied orange, and toasted sugar before moving into brown sugar, cinnamon, creamy mint, charred oak, dark chocolate, and warm spice. Its rye character is lively but not overpowering — a versatile bottle for Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, Sazeracs, Boulevardiers, and everyday sipping.
