Penelope “F*ck Cancer” Blended Whiskey is a limited-edition, purpose-driven American blend of straight whiskies crafted by Penelope Bourbon, bottled at 116 proof (≈58% ABV) and aged approximately 4-6 years. This release not only delivers a rich, complex flavor profile but also supports cancer-awareness initiatives, with each bottle honoring those affected by the disease and contributing to related causes. The blend’s mash bill (≈42% corn, 37% rye, 21% malted barley) brings together spirited depth and layered character, making it a whiskey with both taste and meaning.
Nose: this whiskey greets you with warm, inviting aromas of chocolate-chip raisin bread, caramel syrup and brown sugar, accented by a whisper of chili-powder spice and subtle barrel char before deeper butterscotch and creamy dessert nuances emerge.
Palate: creamy and layered, offering first impressions of rich butterscotch, black cherry and cocoa powder, followed by hints of orange zest and roasted oak — with a soft interplay of sweet and spice that keeps the journey lively.
Finish: long and oily, where sweet rye-bread fruitiness and citrus peel gradually give way to seasoned oak and warm spice, leaving a lasting impression of richness, resilience and balanced complexity.
