Penelope Architect Crème Brûlée Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in French Oak

Penelope Architect Crème Brûlée  Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished with French Oak Staves

Bourbon meets patisserie in this luscious, limited release. The Penelope Architect Crème Brûlée takes the rich foundation of their signature four-grain bourbon and elevates it with French oak staves to create an indulgent, dessert-inspired whiskey that’s as smooth as silk and as complex as a Parisian café menu.

At 110 proof (55% ABV), this release balances power and elegance with remarkable precision. The nose is pure temptation caramelized sugar, toasted vanilla bean, and baking spice swirl with soft hints of toasted oak. On the palate, you’re met with waves of custard cream, honey-dipped graham cracker, brûléed citrus peel, and just a whisper of charred wood. The finish is warm and buttery, like a spoonful of the dessert it was named after.

• Limited Edition Flavor Bomb: A one-of-a-kind release with name and  taste to remember.
• Architect Series Craftsmanship: Made with precision oak stave finishing techniques used in France’s top wineries.
• Dessert-Lover’s Dream: Notes of crème brûlée, caramel, and spice make this a decadent pour.
• Perfect Proof Point: Bottled at 110 proof to showcase full-bodied complexity without overwhelming the palate.
