Penelope Rio

Rio is the latest installment in the Penelope Cooper Series which takes straight whiskeys on a world tour, pairing Penelope with unique casks from around the world. Inspired by the joy of Brazil, Rio delights the senses with a double cask finish of American honey and Brazilian oak. The two make perfect dance partners, rich and sweet, with surprising depth. It's a carnival in a bottle.
