Penelope Tokaji Cask Finish Rye Cooper Series

Penelope Tokaji Cask Finish Rye is a limited expression from the Penelope Cooper Series — a straight rye whiskey finished in Hungarian Tokaji wine casks, adding the distinctive apricot, honey, and golden dried fruit character of one of the world's most distinctive sweet wines to the rye's natural spice and herbal backbone.

Tokaji is Hungary's most celebrated wine — an intensely sweet, botrytized golden wine from the Tokaj region with a flavor profile built on apricot, honey, candied citrus, and mineral depth that is entirely its own. Finishing rye in Tokaji casks creates an unusual but complementary pairing: the wine's honeyed apricot sweetness against the rye's natural pepper and grain spice, with the cask's residual influence adding a layer of complexity that neither spirit nor wine produces alone. Distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Browse the full rye whiskey collection at Wooden Cork.
