My favorite Penelope product is the Tokaji finished rye. So good! #Havana
that is a good pour, I do enjoy that as well
Grear review! Doesn't seen like a whiskey for me but it seems like a fun pour 😆
Yea if you don't like sweet dessert type whiskey, don't try. cheers
Man, I’ve been trying to get my hands on one of these but have failed at every turn! But hearing your review let’s me know that #Havana is worth the continued hunting! Great video as always! 🥃
Hey thanks. Hope you find one. May the force be with you
#Havana
Hey Doc, thanks for the review. One of the first I’ve seen for Penelope Havana. 15 Year Light whiskey and Rio are probably my favorites from Penelope. I’ll definitely be hunting for this one. Cheers! #Havana
if you like that Rio I bet you will love this one. may the force be with you. cheers
My favorite Penelope’s are Toasted and the Barrel Strength so far. Can’t wait to try more #Havana. Cheers Doc
I have the toasted but have not tried it. need to. cheers
#havana
Have not tried a Penelope yet.I am new to this bourbon journey. Normally a Tequila guy. Good video!
Hey Welcome to the bourbon journey. It is fun and the WhiskeyTube community is amazing. If you have any questions let us know. We love to help. Got a tequila question for you. I don't drink a lot of tequila, so if i were to keep one on my shelf for sipping not mixing, what would you suggest? thanks and have a great day. cheers
The Penelope 15 Yr Light Whiskey is phenomenal. Also a fan of Rio. #Havana
yep taht 15 year is a great pour. cheers
My favorite Penelope is Architect. Looking forward to tasting Havana.
#Havana
My mother in law really enjoyed the architect.. she got to try it when in line waiting for a bottle for me.. helped warmed her bones that cold morning. cheers
Love most of the Penelope offerings I have had. My favorite is easily the American Light Whiskey! #Havana
yea that is a great pour. I enjoyed it. cheers
I have not had any Penelope yet, but I have a friend that enjoys the brand. I am chasing the Havana being a rum drinker (Foursquare primarily). This one seems to cater to that and I think would be a great intro to Penelope's offerings #havana
Oh cool I hope you find it may the force be with you 🥃
Always enjoy listen to your revews.
I appreciate that! thanks and cheers
Great review Doc! I enjoyed the Rio and some of ther relases so I would give this a try. Cheers! #HAVANA
if you liked the Rio I bet you will like this one. cheers
#Havana - Penelope Toasted is my favorite so far. Interested to see how this one stacks up.
Very different and sweet I would say more like a dessert whiskey 🥃
Cheers🥃🥃 #havana
Cheers 🥃
I haven’t tried many Penelope’s, but I got a sample of the cast strength, which was really good. #Havana #havana
I have not had the cask str. glad you liked it. cheers
I have a lot of Penelope and just got the Wheated, which is good for the $32 I paid. I like Rio and sweet bourbons, so this one sounds good. #Havana. 🥃
I actually grabbed that wheated bc of you. Yea if you enjoy a sweet bourbon grab this.. grab a back up and if you can grab me a back up too. 🤣🥃
Def love the Rio and a recent Private Select grab. #Havana
If you love the Rio I bet you will love this. cheers
The Penelope 9 year has been my favorite up to now, just grabbed the wheated - havent cracked it yet, #Havana -- Cheers!!
Well that 9 yr is a great pour. I just got the wheated too. would lover to hear what you think once you have cracked it. cheers
I too was suprised how well it ranked with you. Still on the fence about this but, if I run accross it I would probably just buy it. I do like the Velencia and a store pick toasted. #Havana
If you buy it and don't like it, I'll take it off your hands. cheers
#havana
cheers
Appreciate the review. I got to try Penelope Estate and that was fantastic. #Havana
yea it was a great pour. cheers
#havana! Great review. Penelope Valencia is my favorite
that valencia makes an amazing old fashioned.. cheers
@ cheers!! I drank my first bottle (batch 1) of Valencia very fast. I think I have 4 bottles now - just in case it snows on the gulf coast!!
My favorite Penelope so far has been Texas Select Char 5 Medium Toast #havana
I bought one of those but ended up giving it to someone.. so have not tried that texas select.. now I want to.. lol cheers
I've never tried any offering from Penelope, pretty bottles though. Really nice review, cheers Doc! #Havana
Thanks for watching! Some good pours for sure. cheers
The 15 year American light whiskey I think is my favorite of what I’ve tried #Havana
Yea that is a great pour. cheers
I haven’t had a lot of Penelope. I just picked up the Valencia but haven’t opened yet. #havana
that Valencia makes a heck of an old fashioned my friend. cheers
The Estate 9year is a nice pour. #Havana
yes it was. cheers
#Havana I enjoyed the barrel strength
I need to try the barrel str. cheers
Let's go-!!! #havana
LEt's GO! cheers
#havana
I like the toasted rye
noice. cheers
Mash and Drum said 5 years and 1 mo aging. 4 years aged, 1 year rum, 1 month maple barrel
Oh nice. I didn’t see anywhere in my research. So thanks for info. Cheers 🥃
#havana
cheers
Penelope is never on my radar… might have to keep an eye out for #Havana
I would. Really enjoyed this one. Cheers
Current favorite Penelope is Toasted / Marshmallow Toast #havana
I want to try that Marshmallow.. cheers
#havana Deb likes Penelope and she really wants this. As for me, I don't have to have Penelope products. They're good, just not must haves for me. I heard it's not dropping western New York. They are probably wrong. It is dropping in OHIO. So, I'll try to have a friend grab it.
I enjoyed it worth grabbing if you can for sure. cheers
#Havana
Cheers
This #havana may pair well with a Cuban Cigar!
That was my thoughts too. Great minds… cheers
#havana not a big Penelope fan but haven’t tried Rio nor Havana
I liked the havana over the rio.. cheers
penolope wheated /havana
