I don't think this is a Bourbon of the Year contender, but I will say that its the best bottle that Penelope has distributed. I am a fan of Valencia, its one of my preferred pours during the hot days of summer, but this is much better! Keep up this type of content, this was a nice, solid review. Cheers!
A few weeks back I stopped by my local liqour store and the had both bottles, the Valencia and the Private Select. I when for the Valencia, but the manager told me you can purshase both if you want, I don't care. I said thanks, I take both them😂.
1. Penelope is my favorite brand to turn to. I picked this up but haven’t opened it yet. 2. I will forever believe adding water to bourbon is blasphemy simply my opinion. Enjoy your bourbon how you like! Subbed and liked!
@ The 9 year Barrel Proof is by far my favorite but I don’t see it in my area often, it reminds me of cherry coke. Next would be the Toasted which tastes the way a roasted marshmallow smells if that makes sense.
Great review, Cyn. I had a bottle of Valencia in hand on Saturday but ended up walking out the store empty-handed. I’m going to revisit and see if they have this one, as I am a sucker for age stated bourbons! Cheers!
hmm. Now I'm not feeling bad I got this bottle this past weekend. I walked into my local store and the associate said we just got this in. Don't know if you're interested. I saw the age statement and proof and thought why not. I'll add it to my Penelope collection. I hope to get the same enjoyment and tasting notes for when I finally crack it. Thanks for the honest review.
Thank you for a show like this. A simple review that is not over the top from people trying to hard. I look forward to trying this if I can find it.
Thank you so much for the support and the reply! Good luck on your hunt! Cheers!
Well done brother, great review 👍
Thanks for the support! Glad you enjoyed it.

I’m glad you enjoyed the review. I’m with you on Valencia.

Nice. Let me know what you think!

You can't go wrong with both! Cheers!

Thanks for the support! What's your favorite Penelope expression thus far?

The toasted is very good. I like the Rio as well. I haven’t met a Penelope that I didn’t like, to date.

Good call! Age stated is always nice. The Valencia is pretty decent though.
Nice review im looking for that bottle
Thanks for the support. I’m curious to see how many they put out, or if it’ll be somewhat limited given it’s an annual release.
my two bottles from Penelope Estate 9y should be arrive next week. i am excited, we obly get 30 for germany😅
