The story behind it

The maker

Penelope Bourbon was founded in 2018 by Mike Paladini and Kerry Ballew, who named the brand after Mike's newborn daughter. Based in New Jersey with production in Indiana, the brand quickly earned national acclaim for its exceptionally smooth, approachable, and award-winning four-grain whiskey profiles.

How it is made

Crafted from a signature four-grain mash bill of corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley, this expression is bottled uncut straight from the cask. The whiskey is aged in new charred American oak barrels at the historic MGP facility in Indiana before being masterfully blended.
