Penelope Project X is a limited-edition series that highlights innovation in bourbon finishing. Each release begins as Penelope’s signature four-grain straight bourbon, which is then matured in carefully chosen finishing casks sourced from around the world.
Past Project X releases have included finishes in Oloroso Sherry, Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry, and Cognac casks — each adding new layers of sweetness, spice, and complexity. The series pushes creative boundaries while staying true to Penelope’s smooth and balanced bourbon profile.
By inviting bourbon clubs, retailers, and enthusiasts to participate in single-barrel selections, Penelope continues to build a community-driven approach that celebrates craftsmanship, collaboration, and discovery.
Tasting Exploration
While each Project X barrel varies by finish and proof, the line is known for rich character and high-proof intensity. Expect notes of caramel, toasted nuts, dried fruit, and subtle spice, depending on the finishing cask. These are bottles designed for enthusiasts who appreciate both experimentation and tradition.
Final Thoughts
Special releases like Penelope Project X remind us why the bourbon community continues to thrive — shared passion, collaboration, and the joy of discovering new flavor experiences together.
