Penelope Bourbon Pairs Up With Alec Bradley for Cigar Sessions: Chapter 2

Penelope Bourbon has released Cigar Sessions: Chapter 2, a high-proof American whiskey built with cigar maker Alec Bradley.

The two outfits put their blenders in the same room to craft something with enough depth and intensity to stand up to medium and full-bodied cigars. That is no small task. A whiskey that wilts next to a bold cigar is worse than no pairing at all.

Collaborations like this live or die on whether the whiskey actually holds its own, and Penelope seems to understand that the stakes are the whole point.
