Penelope Architect Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Innovation Meets Tradition

Penelope Architect is a bold step forward in bourbon innovation. This straight bourbon is crafted with the brand’s signature four-grain mash bill (corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley) and then finished with a unique twist — it is aged using French oak staves designed in collaboration with Tonnellerie Radoux, one of the world’s leading cooperages in France.

The result is a whiskey that merges American bourbon tradition with French oak sophistication, delivering a layered and modern expression.
