Penelope Rio Double Cask Finished in Honey & Amburana Barrels Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Penelope Rio Double Cask is an innovative limited-release straight bourbon whiskey that undergoes a unique dual finishing process — first in rich honey casks, then in rare Brazilian amburana wood barrels. The honey cask finish imparts deep sweetness and floral richness, while the amburana wood adds exotic spice, cinnamon warmth, and a distinctive aromatic complexity. Bottled at barrel strength, this bourbon delivers bold flavours, layered depth, and a luxurious mouthfeel for adventurous whiskey enthusiasts.

"Anyone who didn’t think a Penelope Rio release could be nuanced and well-balanced should get ready for a new kind of Rio ... " - Eric Hasman, Breaking Bourbon (Very Good) "Overall, it’s a sweet, dessert-like pour with a satisfying mouthfeel, making it a standout addition to any bourbon collection." - Whiskey Consensus (88 Points) "The best Rio yet. It will appeal less to Amburana fanatics and more to folks who prioritize a balanced pour over a powerful one: a very good characteristic for Rio." - Bottle Raiders (88 Points) "Sweet and delicate, Rio is filled with the flavors of gingerbread, honey, and vanilla. Close your eyes, take another sip, and you can feel the warmth of a baked apple croissant or a bourbon pecan pie take over your taste buds. The finish is long and lingering, with wisps of warm spice." - Sara Kay, Tasting Table "Rio dances from the glass with cinnamon sugar, honey-sweetened granola, and flamed orange. The sip is elegant, leading with a sweet-hot punch of cinnamon candies, chocolate orange, and dried chiles. Honey buns, vanilla pound cake, and chocolate frosting carry into the finish, which dials down the sweetness as toasted oak, over-steeped black tea, and dark chocolate linger on the back palate." - Shane English, Whisky Advocate (90 Points)
