Penelope Architect Crème Brûlé 750ML

Silky, dessert-leaning, and beautifully layered—Penelope Architect Crème Brûlé takes the series’ French-oak finesse and leans into rich pastry tones. Expect waves of vanilla custard, caramelized sugar, toasted oak, and baking spice, framed by Penelope’s signature smooth, balanced bourbon profile.

Why you’ll love it

• Sip or stir: Special enough neat, sturdy enough for elevated Old Fashioneds

• Batch-forward character: Small-batch nuances keep the profile intriguing

Tasting notes
