Penelope Estate Collection Founders Reserve 13 Years Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

A bourbon that demands attention. Penelope Estate Collection Founders Reserve 13 Year is the culmination of time, craftsmanship, and premium barrels. Aged thirteen years and bottled at a hefty 121.4 proof, this Kentucky straight bourbon was built for the seasoned collector and serious sipper. The rich mash of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley lays a foundation of sweetness and spice. On the nose, you’ll find deep caramel, warm vanilla, and candied fruit with an under-note of tobacco and old oak. The palate brings toasted nuts, graham cracker, dark frui,t and sweet oak, then surges into a finish of lingering peppery spice and caramel warmth. Rare, refined, and full-bodied—this is bourbon at its apex.

Nose: Rich caramel, vanilla bean, faint tobacco & candied fruit.

Palate: Toasted pecan, graham cracker, dark fruit, sweet oak, butterscotch.

Finish: Long, warming; black pepper spice, deep caramel and seasoned oak.

Pair with a pecan praline or bourbon-maple bread pudding to mirror the nutty caramel layers. A char-grilled ribeye with cracked-pepper crust brings out the bourbon’s spice and depth. For cheese, try aged Gouda or smoked cheddar: both complement the oak, sweetness and heat of this release beautifully.
