Penelope Rio Double Cask Finish American Bourbon Whiskey
Regular price
$219.00
Penelope Rio Double Cask Finish American Bourbon Whiskey is one of the most intriguing expressions from the brand. Inspired by the joy of Brazil, Rio delights the senses with a double cask finish of American honey and Brazilian oak. The two make perfect dance partners, rich and sweet, with surprising depth.
Built on Penelope’s signature four-grain bourbon mash bill—corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley—it begins life as a straight bourbon before undergoing a distinctive double cask finish. The whiskey first rests in new American oak before being transferred into casks that previously held rich ruby port and Amburana wood, a rare Brazilian hardwood prized for its unique influence.
This finishing process imparts an exotic depth not often found in American bourbon. Bottled at a robust proof, Rio retains strength and vibrancy while showcasing remarkable smoothness. For collectors and adventurous whiskey lovers alike, Penelope Rio stands as a bold, creative bourbon that celebrates both tradition and innovation in American whiskey-making.
