Penelope is an American spirits brand with a unique and personal identity. The brand was founded in 2018 by Mike Paladini and his wife, Kerry, to celebrate the impending birth of their daughter, for whom the brand is named. As a non-distiller producer, Penelope began by sourcing straight bourbon whiskey from MGP in Indiana, focusing on a unique four-grain mash bill that includes corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. This creative approach to blending has become a hallmark of the brand, allowing them to craft a distinct and consistent flavor profile.

The brand's philosophy is rooted in a consumer-first approach, a dedication to creating bourbons that are approachable, balanced, and flavorful for both new and experienced drinkers. Penelope is widely praised for its high-quality blends and for its innovative cask finishes, such as those in the popular Cooper Series, which features unique barrels from around the world. Penelope has earned a reputation for being a highly respected and rapidly growing brand that consistently delivers a smooth and sophisticated whiskey experience.
