Penelope Bourbon New Release

Penelope Adds Straight Rye To Its Classic Series

Week of August 24, 2026

Penelope Bourbon is adding a Straight Rye to its Classic Series, built on a mash bill of 93% rye and 7% malted barley.

The whiskey is distilled in Indiana and bottled at 92 proof, with a June arrival date and no age statement. The grain bill leans hard into rye's spice rather than softening it.

A 93% rye mash is an aggressive figure, and Penelope appears to be betting on that intensity rather than moderating it.
