Penelope Bourbon Unveils Rosé-Finished Riviera Expression

Penelope Bourbon has added Riviera to its Cooper Series lineup, blending 8-year American light whiskey with straight bourbon finished in Spanish rosé wine casks. The 94-proof expression carries a suggested retail price of $79.99, positioning it squarely in premium territory for what amounts to wine cask finishing. The combination of light whiskey and rosé cask influence suggests a deliberate play for lighter, fruit-forward flavors that may appeal to those seeking something different from traditional bourbon profiles. Availability begins this month at retailers.
