Penelope Barrel Strength a Full Proof Four Grain Bourbon Named After a Baby Girl

In this episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, we sip on Penelope Barrel Strength (Red Label) — a four-grain, 115.2 proof sourced bourbon with heart, flavour, and a great backstory.

We talk through:

• 👨‍👩‍👧 How the brand was named after the founder’s daughter (jealous!)

• 🧪 What makes Penelope’s sourcing strategy so successful

• 🍰 Why this pour screams dessert without being overpowering

• 🧠 The full-circle MGP-to-brand ownership journey

• 📦 And why Penelope makes such a great bourbon for new drinkers

It’s light, it's lovely, and it might just be the gateway barrel strength you’ve been looking for.
