Rather than chasing the aggressive, peppery edge that can define high-rye whiskey, Penelope goes for balance—there’s plenty of rye character, but it’s polished, supple and easy to drink. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens brightly with \u003cstrong\u003espearmint, citrus peel and toasted grain\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by cinnamon, baking spice, caraway and a touch of fresh oak. On the palate, the rye becomes richer and rounder: \u003cstrong\u003ecreamy caramel, rye bread and caramelized sugar\u003c\/strong\u003e soften cracked black pepper and warming spice, while orange zest and cool herbal mint keep everything lively. The texture is particularly appealing for a whiskey with no corn in the mash—more generous and silky than you might expect. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish carries \u003cstrong\u003epeppercorn, almond, polished oak and lingering minty spice\u003c\/strong\u003e, with enough caramel sweetness to keep the rye from becoming austere. It’s a decidedly \u003cstrong\u003efriendly style of rye\u003c\/strong\u003e—complex enough to sip neat, but priced and proofed to make an excellent Manhattan, Sazerac or Old Fashioned. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BREAKTHRU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51672449777970,"sku":"088352144979","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/Penelope_Core_Rye_D15_WEB-Vertical1.png?v=1787972660","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/penelope-straight-rye-whiskey","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
