A Fresh Take on a Classic Cocktail
Marking its highly anticipated entry into the booming ready-to-pour market, Penelope Bourbon introduces Penelope Peach Old Fashioned – a cocktail that combines the brand’s signature bourbon expertise with an effortlessly enjoyable drinking experience. Penelope Bourbon is renowned for its dedication to quality, and its new Peach Old Fashioned reflects that same craftsmanship.
This ready-to-pour cocktail blends Penelope’s award-winning straight bourbon and rye whiskey with peach bitters and farm-sourced 100% pure maple syrup, creating a balanced, sophisticated twist on the classic old fashioned.
Packaging, Proof, and Pricing
The first in a series of nationwide releases in Penelope’s new ready-to-pour portfolio, Peach Old Fashioned is packaged in a striking 750mL white matte bottle with elegant peach-colored lettering. It is bottled at 80 proof and available for a minimum suggested retail price of $29.99.
Crafted for Flavor and Simplicity
“Peach Old Fashioned is our first leap into the ready-to-pour category and we think folks will really enjoy it,” said Michael Paladini, Penelope Bourbon founder and vice president of strategy for MGP Ingredients. “We handpicked the bourbon and rye we used, along with the premium ingredients, to craft a modern take on an iconic classic. We think this will be a go-to for anyone looking for a delicious old fashioned at a great price.”
Tasting Notes: A Complex Yet Approachable Pour
Penelope Peach Old Fashioned opens with inviting aromas of dark cherry and vanilla, complemented by hints of stone fruit and orange peel. On the palate, rich vanilla and allspice mingle with decadent peach and fig, leading to a lingering finish of caramel syrup and sweet candied ginger spice.
Inspired by a Love of Old Fashioneds
“Old fashioneds are one of our personal favorite cocktails to drink, especially the peach old fashioned variation,” said Danny Polise, Penelope Bourbon founder and master blender. “So when we set out to create a ready-to-pour cocktail, it was clear where to begin. Most importantly, we wanted to create a cocktail with the same great taste as if it were made from scratch in your own home or at a great bar.”
Teaming up with Nashville cocktail creator Tim Beckner, the Penelope team developed a recipe layered with flavor using quality ingredients found behind any great bar. “It’s been a fun new direction for us,” said Polise, “and we’re just getting started.”
