Penelope Cooper Series Havana Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished In Cuban Rum Barrels

Penelope Cooper Series Havana is a limited expression from the Penelope Cooper Series — a straight bourbon finished in Cuban rum barrels, adding the distinctive tropical fruit, molasses, and sugarcane warmth of Cuban rum production to the four-grain bourbon base as a dedicated Cooper Series release.

The Cooper Series from Penelope explores distinctive cask finishing programs on American whiskey. The Havana expression draws on Cuban rum barrels — lighter and more elegant than heavier Jamaican or Barbadian rum styles — for a finishing character that introduces tropical fruit, molasses sweetness, and warm sugarcane complexity without overwhelming the bourbon base. Distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and bottled in St. Louis. Browse the full Penelope Bourbon collection at Wooden Cork.
