Built on Penelope's 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley mash bill, this release delivers brown sugar sweetness, toasted vanilla, and deeply caramelized oak in a higher-proof package that rewards both neat sipping and cocktail use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePenelope Bourbon has built a reputation on creative barrel finishing, and the Toasted Series is where that philosophy shines brightest. Rather than relying solely on traditional new charred American oak, Penelope re-racks this bourbon into a freshly toasted barrel for extra maturation, layering in deeper caramelized wood character before bottling at barrel strength for a bigger, more concentrated pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown sugar, toasted vanilla, cinnamon pastry, cocoa, deeply caramelized oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich vanilla, dark caramel, warm baking spice, toasted oak, a touch of dried fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with lingering oak char, cinnamon spice, and a sweet caramelized-sugar warmth from the elevated proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55% (110 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRelease Year\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePenelope Bourbon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75% Corn, 21% Rye, 4% Malted Barley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew Charred American Oak, finished in Char 5 Heavy Toast barrel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeeknight sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e The rich caramelized oak and brown sugar sweetness make this a satisfying pour after a long day, no fuss required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHome bar essentials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel strength bourbon is a must-have for anyone who likes to build cocktails with real backbone and depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGift ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e A striking limited 2026 release that makes a memorable gift for the bourbon enthusiast who already has the basics covered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBBQ and game day:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bold spice and caramel notes hold their own alongside smoky, savory food and good company.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Penelope Magic Toast good for cocktails or best sipped neat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works well both ways.
