Penelope Estate Collection 10 Year: Byron’s Store Pick
Appearance / Color
Deep amber with copper and mahogany highlights; moderately viscous legs.
Nose / Aroma / Smell
Nose: Caramel and vanilla custard lead into dark cherry, graham cracker and seasoned oak. Cinnamon, dark chocolate and apricot provide depth, with quieter notes of roasted pecan and tobacco.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Rich caramel, vanilla cream and cherry arrive first. Graham cracker and dark chocolate develop through the middle, followed by cinnamon, mature oak and a measured rye-spice lift.
Finish
Medium-long, with vanilla custard, caramelized sugar and baking spice. Oak, roasted nuts, cocoa and a faint tobacco note linger after the sweetness recedes.
Overall: A mature, traditional MGP bourbon profile centered on caramel, vanilla, fruit and oak. The 10-year age brings more depth than Penelope’s younger releases, while the single-barrel format means the balance may lean fruitier or spicier depending on Byron’s selected recipe. Penelope’s Estate Collection showcases older barrels selected from different warehouse locations and floors. Its 10-year Single Barrel program includes both a 21% rye recipe and a spicier 36% rye recipe. Byron’s selection may also have a barrel-specific proof, so those fields will remain open until the label is available. Official Penelope Estate Collection
