About Penelope Bourbon
Founded with the intention of celebrating the birthday of Mike Paladini's daughter, Penelope Bourbon was brought to life by Mike and his lifelong friend, Danny Polise. The duo aimed to create a smooth, accessible straight bourbon that anyone can enjoy. Today, Penelope Bourbon is widely available in most states in the U.S. and three other countries, proving that with love and dedication, anything is achievable. This bourbon is particularly noted for its pure, aromatic, and smooth characteristics. It has garnered high praise from enthusiasts, earning accolades at various competitions and in industry publications. Notably, in 2023, the esteemed supplier MGP acquired the brand for $105 million, showcasing a Cinderella story within the bourbon market.
