T8ke's Tasting Notes: Rich nose with graham cracker, baked apples, sweet toffee and decadent vanilla. The palate is layered and complex; baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg join cracked pepper, sweet vanilla, rich caramel, a hint of baked apple here with sweet pastry and a bit of brown butter. Moderate, clean finish with sweet desserts and spice, clean and precise with all dessert and no hug. It's decadent yet easy drinking, full of flavor and makes a silly good old fashioned. 

About Penelope Architect: 
Architect is the new blueprint for precision blending. The first build in this series combines our signature four grain mash bill with two styles of French oak staves. Working in collaboration with Tonnellerie Radoux of France, the market leader in oak barrel manufacturing and innovation, we selected each stave using their state-of-the-art OakScan® process to construct a truly memorable flavor profile. After all, the best architecture leaves no room for error.
