Priced for the quality
Only one source has scored this: Excellent, and priced like it. Top-third reviews at a top-third price. Breaking Bourbon gives it 4.5/5, vs. 3.5/5 for the typical american whiskey (66 rated).
Penelope 17 Year American Light Whiskey is a limited-release expression distilled from a mash of 99% corn and 1% malted barley at the former Seagrams distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana in 2006, then aged 17 years in second-fill oak barrels. Bottled at cask strength (138.8 proof / 69.4% ABV) without chill filtration, it offers a smooth, mellow profile with notes of honeycomb, browned butter, creme brulee, and cinnamon frosting.
