Penelope Project X Cognac Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey – The Barrel Tap Special Barrel
American Straight Bourbon | Barrel Finished in Cognac Casks | 108 Proof (54% ABV) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Penelope Project X Cognac Cask Finish is a limited-release, single-barrel bourbon from Penelope’s experimental Project X series. After full maturation, the bourbon is finished in Cognac barrels—imparting a nuanced, fruit-forward elegance on top of the classic four-grain base. Typically derived from MGP-sourced mash (corn, wheat, malted barley, rye), it features a bold 108 proof and reflects Penelope's cutting-edge cask programs.
