Penelope Architect 4 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Penelope Architect 4 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Architecture is defined as the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings.  Using those same principles, we wanted to build new and distinct flavor profiles the same way an Architect creates new innovative structures.   

 Working in collaboration with Tonnellerie Radoux of France, the market leader in oak barrel manufacturing and innovation, we use French oak staves and their state-of-the-art OakScan process to build a truly precise flavor profile within every bottle.   After all, the best architecture leaves no room for error.
