Crafted from a mash bill of 99% corn and 1% malted barley, it was aged for 17 years in second-fill oak barrels. This cask-strength release is bottled at 70.5% ABV (141 proof) and is non-chill filtered. It is part of Penelope's limited release series and is often referred to as a 'HAZMAT' proof whiskey.

Nose
Inviting notes of butterscotch, cake batter, cotton candy, vanilla, cinnamon, and sweet corn with a light toastiness.

Flavors of brown sugar, vanilla bean ice cream, light orchard fruit, sweet spice, caramel, and a buttery texture with hints of baking spice and oak.
Finish
Lingering and delicate with notes of light butter, waffle cone, confectioner's sugar, and a warm, peppery, oaky finish with rich vanilla cream.
