Penelope Bourbon has introduced its first bottled cocktail, the Penelope Peach Old Fashioned, aimed at the ready-to-pour market. This cocktail is designed to offer a blend of convenience and quality, presenting a modern interpretation of the classic old fashioned. The product is bottled at 80 proof and is suggested to retail for a minimum price of $29.99.
The Peach Old Fashioned combines Penelope Bourbon’s award-winning straight bourbon and rye whiskey with peach bitters and pure maple syrup sourced from farms. This combination is intended to create a sophisticated and balanced flavor profile. The cocktail is packaged in a 750mL white matte bottle featuring peach-colored lettering, marking the initial release in Penelope’s new ready-to-pour line.
Michael Paladini, founder of Penelope Bourbon, stated, “Peach Old Fashioned is our first leap into the ready-to-pour category and we think folks will really enjoy it.” He emphasized the careful selection of ingredients to ensure a quality product. The flavor profile includes dark cherry and vanilla aromas, with a palate that features vanilla, allspice, peach, and fig, culminating in a finish of caramel syrup and candied ginger spice.
Danny Polise, also a founder of Penelope Bourbon, expressed enthusiasm for the old fashioned variation, highlighting their goal to create a cocktail that tastes as if it were made at home or in a bar. The collaboration with Nashville cocktail creator Tim Beckner aimed to develop a recipe with depth and quality ingredients, indicating that this release is just the beginning for Penelope Bourbon in the ready-to-pour sector.
