“The ready-to-pour market is exciting territory for us, and we’re innovating again with Black Walnut Old Fashioned – our latest unique take on the classic cocktail,”  Michael Paladini, Penelope Bourbon founder and vice president of strategy for MGP Ingredients, said.

The result, according to Penelope Bourbon, is a 76-proof well-balanced cocktail that begins with notes of toasted vanilla beans, maple candy, allspice, and cocoa powder. Sipping it reveals notes of brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon candy, and vanilla beans. The finish is loaded with flavors like toffee, candied nuts, and caramelized sugar.

“Black Walnut Old Fashioned is a great variation of the Old Fashioned that we love. Using our bourbon and rye blend as the foundation for this release creates an amazing base for a whiskey forward cocktail,”  Danny Polise, founder and master blender of Penelope Bourbon, said.

“We hope all will enjoy how easy it can be to experience a delicious Penelope cocktail.”
