Penelope Tokaji Cask Finish Rye Whiskey is a decadent fusion of bold American rye and regal European tradition. This rare expression takes Penelope’s 9-year-old straight rye whiskey and finishes it in legendary Tokaji wine casks from Hungary—known for producing the “wine of kings.” The result is an exceptional balance of rich spice, golden fruit, and velvety sweetness, bottled at a powerful 104 proof. Available now at Whiskey Caviar.
