Penelope Rio Straight Bourbon Whiskey Honey & Amburana Double Cask Finish

Penelope Rio brings the vibrant energy of Brazil into your glass with a truly one-of-a-kind double cask finish. Part of the Cooper Series, this straight bourbon whiskey is finished in both American honey barrels and Brazilian Amburana oak casks, creating a rich, sweet, and deeply aromatic spirit.

Non-chill filtered and bottled at 109 proof (54.5% ABV), Rio delivers bold flavor and layered complexity. The honey barrels offer natural sweetness and floral warmth, while the Amburana casks add signature cinnamon, baking spice, and exotic wood notes. Inspired by the rhythm and joy of Rio de Janeiro, this is bourbon reimagined as a carnival in a bottle.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Warm honey, cinnamon, vanilla bean, and toasted coconut

• Palate: Brown sugar, baking spice, floral sweetness, and sandalwood

• Finish: Long and vibrant with lingering spice and a hint of tropical fruit

How to Enjoy:

• Sip neat or with a splash of water to explore the full aromatic profile

• Pairs beautifully with spiced desserts, grilled meats, or dark chocolate

• Great for elevated bourbon-based cocktails like a Gold Rush or Old Fashioned
