Penelope Classic Series Kentucky Rye is a straight rye whiskey built on a heavy 93% rye, 7% malted barley mash bill. Distilled in Indiana and aged 7 to 9 years, it's bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV).

A Rye-Forward Take on the Classic Series

Alongside the Classic Series bourbon, this rye represents Penelope's move toward simpler, more traditional whiskey after years built on blended, multi-mash-bill releases. Its higher rye content and longer age give it more spice and structure than Penelope's core lineup.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: spearmint and citrus zest, layered with baking spice and light toasted oak.
• Palate: caramelized sugar and subtle citrus, with a lively surge of rye spice, cracked pepper, and cool herbal mint.
• Finish: clean and gently warming, with polished oak, toasted almond, and a sweet mint-caramel fade.

How to Enjoy It

Its balanced spice and moderate proof make it equally suited to sipping neat or as the base of a classic rye cocktail like a Manhattan or Sazerac.
