PENELOPE F*CK CANCER
BLEND OF STRAIGHT WHISKIES
Here's how fast Penelope moves these days: we've brought you their Founders 13 Year, their Omega, their Cigar Series — and watched each one vanish faster than a politician's promise. Not in days. Not in hours. In actual minutes.
And this, the fourth installment in their F*ck Cancer series, an extremely-limited release, is sure to pull the same disappearing act.
The whiskey world is full of distillers cosplaying as rebels, but Penelope actually walks the walk. These guys understand that pushing boundaries means something only when you respect what you're pushing against.
That’s the kind of innovation we love: the kind that adds new links to the chain, rather than smashing the thing altogether.
And if you’re looking for power, folks — whoooooa, it's here, all right, and in glorious abundance.
But so is complexity.
And so is nuance.
The nose — imagine a loaf of raisin bread studded with chocolate chips and spiked with chili powder. It’s a combination that totally shouldn’t work but totally does … and brilliantly. The palate is like a traipse through a pastry chef's tasting menu: now buttercream, now black cherry, now cocoa powder, now orange zest. The finish takes you home on a long, sustained note of sweet rye, with hints of citrus and oak that add definition and dimension.
And if it seems that invoking cancer is the last thing a maker of premium spirits — source of good times — ought to be doing, well … that’s Penelope. And that’s why we love them. That same no-compromise attitude that drives Penelope to speak their fury is what makes their whiskies so uncompromising and so good.
Grab yours before someone else beats you to it — because when it comes to this legend-in-the-making, he who hesitates is most definitely lost.
