Modern Bourbon Inspired by a Family Story

Penelope Bourbon is an American brand of bourbon whiskey that was founded in 2018 from a personal story and a passion for quality bourbon. Its creation is linked to the moment when founder Mike Paladini and his wife Kerry were expecting the birth of their daughter Penelope. On this occasion, Mike wanted to create a bourbon that would symbolize the joy of life and celebrate important moments – both big and small. Together with his childhood friend and neighbor Danny Polise, they decided to create a bourbon that would be accessible to a wide range of whiskey lovers. Their goal was to create a quality Straight Bourbon Whiskey with a balanced flavor profile that everyone could enjoy. Today, Penelope Bourbon is available in all 50 states of the USA and is exported to several countries around the world.

Distillation at the Historic MGP Distillery

Penelope Bourbon is distilled at the renowned American distillery MGP Ingredients in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. This distillery has a rich history dating back to 1847 and is one of the most significant whiskey producers in the United States. MGP is known for its precision, quality of distillation, and ability to create bourbon with a consistent and complex flavor profile. It is the combination of this distillery's expertise and Penelope's creative approach that allows for the creation of unique bourbons. Notable products from the brand include Penelope Architect and Penelope Wheated.

Modern Approach to Bourbon Production

The Penelope Bourbon brand focuses on combining traditional methods with modern experiments in aging whiskey. A strong emphasis is placed on barrel selection, blending different bourbon batches, and utilizing various types of oak wood during aging. Some editions use French oak or special oak staves, which add complexity and new aromatic layers to the whiskey. The Bardstown Bourbon Company collaborates on the development and blending of the bourbons, operating one of the most technologically advanced distilleries in the USA. Their philosophy is maximum transparency in production and connecting science with the craft of distillation.

Barrel Selection and Collaboration with Traditional Cooperages

The quality of the barrels also plays an important role in the character of the bourbon. Penelope Bourbon collaborates with the renowned company Speyside Cooperage, a family business that has been making barrels from quality American oak since 1947. Speyside Cooperage assists the Penelope brand in selecting special barrels and unique oak finishes that give each bourbon edition its characteristic flavor layers.

A New Generation of American Bourbon

Penelope Bourbon is among the modern American brands that combine the tradition of bourbon whiskey with an innovative approach. The combination of quality distillation, careful barrel selection, and creative blending creates a bourbon that is both authentic and modern. The result is whiskeys with a balanced character that are gaining increasing popularity among bourbon lovers worldwide.
