The Story

 Introducing Penelope “Project X” a bold and elegant private barrel pick that pushes the boundaries of finished bourbon. Selected by the team at Liquor Lineup, this straight bourbon whiskey was aged traditionally before undergoing an extended rest in Oloroso sherry casks sourced from Jerez, Spain. The result is a beautifully layered expression that blends Penelope’s signature four-grain softness with rich, old-world depth and sherry-kissed nuance.

 Tasting Notes

 Nose: Ripe fig, toasted almonds, dried cherries, and warm baking spice

Palate: Creamy vanilla, honey-drizzled walnuts, leather, and dark fruit compote

Finish: Long and warming, with waves of sherry-soaked oak, spice, and sweet tobacco

Why It Stands Out

•  Liquor Lineup Private Selection: Hand-picked for peak complexity and balance
• Four-Grain Bourbon Base: Offers a soft, nuanced structure with layered spice and sweetness
• Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish: Adds luxurious depth, dried fruit notes, and old-world elegance
• Limited Release: Only one barrel bottled at 108 proof for full flavor impact
