Penelope American Light Whiskey 17 Year
There are whiskeys that impress, and then there are whiskeys that stop time. Penelope American Light Whiskey 17 Year belongs firmly in the second category. Distilled in 2006 at the iconic Seagram’s Indiana distillery (now known as MGP), this rare expression spent 17 patient years resting in second-fill oak barrels, drawing out layers of deep flavor and incredible maturity. Bottled at a bold 138.8 proof and non-chill filtered, this release doesn’t just whisper complexity it shouts it.
The nose opens with a swirl of butterscotch, cake batter, and cotton candy that immediately sets the tone for something special. The palate leans sweet and creamy with notes of brown sugar, spiced vanilla bean, orchard fruits, and waffle cone, finishing off with a delightful ribbon of buttered pastry and powdered sugar. Whether you're savoring every sip neat or collecting standout bottles, this one delivers.
Don’t miss your chance to experience one of the most compelling American light whiskeys on the market. With its striking proof, refined sweetness, and incredibly smooth finish, Penelope 17 Year is a bottle that deserves a front-row spot in any whiskey lover’s lineup.
