  • Breaking Bourbon
  • By Eric Hasman
  • Now eight batches in, it's surprising no one has copied Penelope’s Rosé Cask Finish bourbon as it remains a quintessential summertime bourbon pour.

  • I wasn't sure how Rose + Bourbon would go at first, but it's a great combination that hopefully will inspire many other brands to continue to push the envelope in innovative cask finishes. This particular one just works. [Batch 01]

  • Drinkhacker
  • By Christopher Null
  • The finish offers some toasty barrel char, more chocolate, and a vaguely floral element — the only hint of rose wine that I can suss out here. Rose or no, it’s definitely worth drinking.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Light and sweet - plenty of fresh berries, juicy wine notes and a cinnamon sugar background. The bourbon notes pair nicely with the lighter bodied wine notes on the nose.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouth feel. Brown sugar returns with some oak tannins, fresh berry notes and a hint of vanilla bean.

  • Finish:

    Long finish. The tannins work well with the sweet bourbon + wine notes, leading to a delightful exit.

  • Overall:

    I wasn't sure how Rose + Bourbon would go at first, but it's a great combination that hopefully will inspire many other brands to continue to push the envelope in innovative cask finishes. This particular one just works.
