Penelope Bourbon Unveils the Black Walnut Old Fashioned

Penelope Bourbon has recently made waves in the ready-to-pour cocktail market with its introduction of the Black Walnut Old Fashioned. Just months after the successful launch of Peach Old Fashioned, this new offering further expands Penelope’s elegant range of pre-mixed drinks, designed for those who appreciate quality and convenience.

A Celebration of Craftsmanship

The Black Walnut Old Fashioned is crafted with care, echoing Penelope Bourbon's dedication to premium quality. This cocktail combines their award-winning straight bourbon with rye whiskey, black walnut bitters, and vanilla demerara sugar. The brief touch of molasses in the demerara contributes to a rich, warm caramel flavor that elevates the drinking experience.

Bottled at 76 proof (38% ABV), the Black Walnut Old Fashioned is designed for effortless enjoyment. Encased in Penelope’s signature matte white bottle adorned with walnut-colored lettering, it’s a delightful aesthetic addition to any gathering, whether a casual evening at home or a summer backyard soirée.

Innovative Approach to a Classic

Michael Paladini, the founder of Penelope Bourbon, expressed enthusiasm regarding the new release, stating, "The ready-to-pour market is an exciting territory for us, and we're innovating again with the Black Walnut Old Fashioned — our latest unique take on the classic cocktail." This innovative mix captures the essence of the Old Fashioned while reinterpreting it with modern, flavorful twists.

The scent profile opens with comforting notes of vanilla, complemented by subtle hints of maple, allspice, and cocoa. In terms of taste, the cocktail delivers layers of fresh brown sugar, transitioning to allspice and cinnamon, finishing with a creamy smoothness highlighted by toffee and lingering caramel.

Danny Polise, the founder and master blender at Penelope Bourbon, added, "Black Walnut Old Fashioned is a fantastic variation of the Old Fashioned we adore. Our bourbon and rye blend creates an exceptional base for this cocktail, enhancing the whiskey's character." Their focus on creating an easily accessible yet delicious experience reflects the brand's commitment to quality.

Awards and Recognition

The launch of both the Black Walnut Old Fashioned and the original Peach Old Fashioned coincided with notable recognition. Both cocktails earned platinum medals in the Pre-Mixed Cocktail category at the 2025 ASCOT Awards, underscoring the high standards that Penelope Bourbon strives to maintain.
