For lovers of dessert-inspired bourbons, Penelope's Toasted Marshmallow Toast Barrel Strength delivers exactly what its name promises—without sacrificing the bold intensity expected from a barrel-proof whiskey. Finished in a heavily toasted oak barrel after full maturation, it layers rich confectionary sweetness over a robust bourbon backbone. Each batch is bottled uncut and non-chill filtered, so proof and flavor intensity vary slightly, but all are designed to showcase the influence of the toasted finishing barrel.

On the nose, expect waves of toasted marshmallow, vanilla bean, brûléed sugar, graham cracker, caramel sauce, and warm baking spices, with hints of roasted oak and light cherry beneath the sweetness. The palate is rich and creamy, offering flavors reminiscent of fresh s'mores, butterscotch, cinnamon, dark caramel, vanilla custard, and toasted oak, balanced by the whiskey's high proof, which adds a warming spice rather than overwhelming heat. The finish is long and decadent, lingering with roasted marshmallow, brown sugar, charred oak, cinnamon, and a touch of pepper, leaving a satisfying campfire sweetness that keeps drawing you back for another sip.

Despite its dessert-like profile, this is not a sugary whiskey. The barrel strength provides excellent structure, with enough oak, spice, and toasted wood to keep the sweetness in check. Fans of Old Forester 1910, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, and Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel will appreciate its balance of richness and intensity, while Penelope's signature creamy texture makes it especially approachable for a high-proof pour.

Overall: A crowd-pleasing, dessert-driven bourbon that combines toasted oak complexity with indulgent flavors of marshmallow, vanilla, and caramel. Rich, powerful, and remarkably smooth for its proof, it's an outstanding after-dinner whiskey or companion to pecan pie, crème brûlée, or dark chocolate.

Shipping Policy

Open tab

Unless your delivery address is on the West Coast, we strongly discourage you from selecting “Ground Service” as your shipping method. During the winter and summer months, weather conditions (temperature) and longer delivery times can often result in the spoilage of your order. It doesn’t make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due environmental factors during transit (faster and safer delivery generally isn’t much more expensive). We don’t make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside the West Coast.
You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages. Any shipments containing alcoholic beverages are sent with an “Adult Signature Required” sticker, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery. This means that an adult will have to be present at the time of delivery. Please consider shipping to an office address.
During periods of extreme weather, we attempt to ship wines at the beginning of each week in order to get shipments to you before the weekend. This is because we have no control over the temperature conditions at our freight carriers’ warehouses. The result may be that your shipment doesn’t go out the day that you place an order.
We ship by Fedex or Fedex Ground. Our prices include packaging materials. Insurance may be available for an additional charge.
Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. will arrange for shipment on behalf of the buyer, to an address specified by the buyer, provided that Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. in its sole judgment believes that such shipment will not subject Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. to the risk of any sort of legal action or other harm. If a buyer lives in a state where the direct shipment of wine by Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. violates the law, we suggest that the buyer provide an alternative address in another state or have their wine shipped to a third-party storage facility in a direct shipping-friendly state.
Various states impose limitations on the quantity of alcoholic beverages that may be purchased and brought into their jurisdiction by a purchaser from another state without requiring the purchaser, a seller or shipper to possess certain licenses or permits. Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. does not, as a condition of sale, assume any obligation nor bear any responsibility whatsoever for applying or obtaining any permits or licenses. Therefore, we recommend that you investigate the possibility of such limitations, and determine the manner in which alcoholic beverages shall be brought into your state from California, so as to comply with all of your state’s requirements.
Wine shipping rules in the United States are controlled by the state you live in. We do not ship wine to the following states at this time:
