Penelope Bourbon is crafted by MGP Ingredients, Inc., a renowned distillery located in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Founded in 1847, MGP has a rich history and a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality spirits. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of experiencing the craftsmanship of MGP firsthand, and I can attest to their dedication to producing exceptional bourbon.
MGP's Lawrenceburg distillery is a historic landmark in the world of whiskey. Stepping onto the distillery grounds feels like taking a step back in time, as you can sense the heritage and tradition that permeate the air. The distillery itself is a sight to behold, with its striking architecture and charming aesthetics.
One of the things that sets MGP apart is their commitment to using the finest ingredients in their bourbon production. They carefully select the grains that go into their mash bills, ensuring that only the highest quality corn, rye, and barley are used. This attention to detail is evident in the flavor profile of Penelope Bourbon, which is rich, complex, and incredibly smooth.
MGP takes pride in their distillation process, which combines traditional methods with modern techniques. They employ copper pot stills and column stills to create a bourbon that is both traditional and innovative. This combination allows them to extract the best flavors from the grains and achieve a level of consistency that is unparalleled.
The aging process is another area where MGP excels. They have a vast collection of well-seasoned barrels, which they use to age their bourbon to perfection. The barrels are carefully stored in temperature-controlled warehouses, allowing the whiskey to interact with the wood and develop its unique character over time. The result is a bourbon that has depth, complexity, and a wonderful balance of flavors.
One of the things I appreciate about MGP is their commitment to transparency. They are upfront about the fact that they are the distillers behind Penelope Bourbon, and they take pride in the quality of their product. They understand that the art of bourbon-making is a collaborative effort, and they work closely with the team at Penelope to ensure that every bottle meets their high standards.
