Penelope Reveals Architects of Golf Limited-Edition Collection

Penelope Bourbon has announced Architects of Golf, a collection of three bourbon expressions inspired by the brand’s origin story.

The company said the concept connects to the early development of the brand in 2018, when founders Michael Paladini and Danny Polise developed the idea during a round of golf.

“Golf and bourbon are similar in that they both bring people together. Penelope started as an idea on a golf course, so we felt it was only natural to expand our Architect line into this area,” says Michael Paladini, Founder and Vice President of Strategy at Penelope Bourbon. “Architects of Golf is a nod to the subtleties of the game and where some of our best ideas took shape. The introduction of American Oak Staves into our blends reflects how small adjustments can have a big impact on the overall product.”

The Architects of Golf collection includes three expressions named Hole 1, Hole 2 and Hole 3. Each expression uses different stave finishing approaches with varying intensity and time.

Hole 1 includes tasting notes of caramel, butterscotch, baking spices, nutmeg, dark chocolate, oak, roasted nuts, vanilla, leather and spice.

Hole 2 includes tasting notes of butterscotch, baking spices, fruit, dark chocolate, vanilla, French toast and oak.

Hole 3 includes tasting notes of vanilla, toast, baking spice, caramel, red fruit, chocolate mousse, oak, cherry and dark chocolate.

“Each hole represents a distinct batch,” says Danny Polise, Founder and Master Blender of Penelope Bourbon. “They are designed to explore the nuances of different stave profiles and how they evolve the whiskey. It made developing the collection as fun as playing the game.”

The brand will also launch the Classic Club Sports Sweepstakes, which offers nine trips for two to tennis or golf tournaments in the United States.

Penelope Bourbon will release Hole 1, Hole 2 and Hole 3 at 94 proof with a suggested retail price of $59.99 per 750-ml. bottle. The company will distribute the products in limited quantities at select retailers nationwide beginning later this month.

This follows the recent release of Penelope Barrel Strength 7-Year Bourbon.
