A Premium Bottled Cocktail Crafted for Convenience and Quality
ST. LOUIS (April 1, 2025) – Penelope Bourbon is making waves in the ready-to-pour cocktail market with the launch of its first-ever bottled cocktail: the Penelope Peach Old Fashioned. Combining premium ingredients and expert craftsmanship, this modern twist on a classic cocktail is designed for effortless enjoyment, just in time for spring gatherings.
A New Era for Penelope Bourbon: Ready-to-Pour Peach Old Fashioned
Marking its highly anticipated debut in the booming ready-to-pour cocktail category, Penelope Bourbon introduces Peach Old Fashioned, a premium blend of its award-winning bourbon and rye whiskey, infused with peach bitters and 100% pure maple syrup sourced from local farms. The result? A rich, balanced cocktail that honors tradition while elevating the drinking experience.
Packaged in a sleek 750mL white matte bottle with peach-colored lettering, Peach Old Fashioned is bottled at 80 proof and available for a suggested retail price of $29.99.
“Peach Old Fashioned is our first leap into the ready-to-pour category, and we think folks will really enjoy it,” said Michael Paladini, Penelope Bourbon founder and vice president of strategy for MGP Ingredients.
“We handpicked the bourbon and rye we used, along with premium ingredients, to craft a modern take on an iconic classic. We think this will be a go-to for anyone looking for a delicious old fashioned at a great price.”
Tasting Notes: A Sophisticated Twist on a Timeless Favorite
Penelope Peach Old Fashioned is expertly crafted to replicate the taste of a handmade cocktail, delivering layers of complex flavors with every sip.
- Nose: Inviting aromas of dark cherry and vanilla, with hints of stone fruit and orange peel.
- Palate: A rich blend of vanilla and allspice, complemented by decadent peach and fig.
- Finish: A lingering sweetness of caramel syrup and candied ginger spice, offering a smooth and warming experience.
“Old fashioneds are one of our personal favorite cocktails to drink, especially the peach old fashioned variation,” said Danny Polise, Penelope Bourbon founder and master blender.
“So when we set out to create a ready-to-pour cocktail, it was clear where to begin. Most importantly, we wanted to create a cocktail with the same great taste as if it were made from scratch in your own home or at a great bar.”
To perfect this recipe, Penelope Bourbon partnered with Nashville-based cocktail expert Tim Beckner, ensuring the final product maintains the flavor complexity and balance of a handcrafted drink.
