EXCLUSIVE TO BOURBON BROTHERS

We have waited a while to find the perfect bourbon to introduce our new Private Barrel pick, created exclusively for Bourbon Brothers.  Importantly, we wanted to bring you a high quality whiskey that we could negotiate a price that delivers outstanding value for money.  Our team found it with Penelope, in their exclusive X series.  

We rank among the very first in the United States to access this exclusive program and may well be the inaugural market outside the US to bottle a Penelope X

Penelope X Series represents the brand’s boldest step into experimental bourbon making. Crafted in limited releases, each expression showcases innovative cask finishes and unique blending techniques that push beyond traditional bourbon boundaries. Where Penelope’s core range balances four-grain elegance, the X Series explores rich double-cask maturations, rare wine and fortified barrels, and nuanced wood profiles to create layered depth and complexity. 

Upon arriving in Kentucky, the opportunity to select a Penelope X Single Barrel was truly exciting, given how new the program is.  Presented with a diverse array of casks; we were immediately drawn to the Oloroso Cask finish. It t preserved the essence of exceptional Bourbon while adding nuanced layers from the finishing casks. This particular barrel exceeded expectations, delivering a remarkable palate, with a nose and finish that invite you to indulge repeatedly.
