Penelope Bourbon announced its 2025 Estate Collection, an array of five distinct expressions with minimum age statements of 10 years. 

The expanded collection includes a reimagined Founders Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, the introduction of new Omega Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Omega French Oak barrels, and the award-winning Single Barrel and Private Select bourbons.

“We are excited to introduce Omega as part of the Estate Collection – we’ve been experimenting with these French Oak finishing casks, built by the Radoux Cooperage, which utilizes oak from the most prestigious French forests,” Penelope Founder and Master Blender Danny Polise said in a news release. “In addition, our 2025 Founders Reserve is a 13-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon which stands as a solid pour, along with our award-winning 10-year Private Select blend and Single Barrel straight bourbon offerings.” 

Penelope Founders Reserve 13 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: $199.99

Inspired by passion for sharing truly special whiskey, the single lot of 2025 Founders Reserve is a testament to patience.

Penelope Omega 11 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey: $129.99

The 2025 Estate Collection reaches new heights with Omega, a whiskey that unites exceptional age with the most advanced oak finishing available. After 11 years of maturation, this straight bourbon whiskey is refined for an additional year in Radoux Omega barrels, considered the pinnacle of French Oak innovation. Crafted with rare, tight-grain oak and a meticulously designed toast profile, these barrels embody the highest level of precision and artistry in coopering. Radoux Cooperage, a global leader in barrel production, pioneered OakScan technology to scientifically select staves with the exact chemical composition needed to achieve the desired flavor profile. With a mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, Omega is bottled at 109.8 proof (54.9% ABV) and dressed in an elegant burgundy and gold label. A limited allocation of 1,800 (6-in) cases of 750mL bottles will arrive in select markets in September for a minimum suggested retail price of $129.99.

Single Barrel 10 Year Bourbon: $89.99

Each barrel chosen for the 2025 Single Barrel release was hand-selected to showcase the nuanced complexity of the stocks of well-aged bourbon deemed too exceptional to blend. The 2025 Single Barrel offerings feature two different mash bills and proof points: Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey with a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley is bottled at 99 proof (49.5% ABV). A limited allocation of 1,300 (3-in) cases will be available nationwide in September at a minimum suggested retail price of $89.99.

The long rye spice finish includes notes of vanilla custard and roasted nuts. A limited allocation of 2,400 (3-in) cases will arrive at retailers nationwide in September at a minimum suggested retail price of $89.99.

We’ve also raised the age statement on Private Select and expanded allocations across the lineup, making this year’s collection our most exciting and accessible yet.”
