Penelope Valencia Cooper Series Straight Bourbon Whiskey offers a unique expression that explores the marriage of different cask finishes with Penelope’s signature four-grain bourbon. Finished in Vino de Naranja casks from Sevilla, Spain, this bourbon is a rich and bold experience that showcases the depth of flavor achieved through its distinctive finishing process. Bottled at 97 proof, Valencia brings a touch of Spanish heritage to the Penelope Bourbon family.
The Process
This bourbon is the result of a careful blend of three mash bills made from a combination of four grains—corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley. After distillation, the whiskey is finished for about a year in Vino de Naranja (VDN) wine casks, which impart vibrant citrus and fruity flavors. The finishing process is key to the development of the bourbon’s unique profile, offering an unparalleled balance of bold and nuanced notes.
