Penelope Architect French Oak Staves Finish Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Limited to 30,000 Bottles

Architecture is defined as the the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings.  Using those same principles, we wanted to build new and distinct flavor profiles that same way an Architect creates new innovative structures.   

 Working in collaboration with Tonnellerie Radoux of France, the market leader in oak barrel manufacturing and innovation, we use French oak staves and their their state-of-the-art OakScan® process to build a truly precise flavor profile within every bottle.   After all, the best architecture leaves no room for error.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Sweet candied cream and floral with hints of crème brûlée.

Forward Notes: Sweet vanilla and viscous cream with some savory oak notes.

Body: Creamy sweetness transitions  from the forward notes and into the body, herbal, floral and cream.

Finish: Rich vanilla that leaves a long lingering finish with some heat.

"From nose to finish, Architect delivers dessert in a glass. The nose opens with vanilla pirouettes, berries and cream, and peach melba, with toasted oak and cigar adding depth. The palate is more of the same, plus cherry pie a la mode, vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, and oaky spice. The sweet flavors and oak come together on the finish: The vanilla ice cream gets fried and the caramel becomes flan." - Shane English, Whisky Advocate
