Penelope Bourbon embraces the pairing of whiskey and cigars with the debut of Cigar Sessions Chapter 1. The first release in the annual Cigar Sessions, Chapter 1 is produced to complement medium-bodied cigars, with future Chapters to explore a range of cigar pairings.
The blend of American whiskeys featured in Cigar Sessions Chapter 1 is straight bourbon, 100% American single malt and American light whiskey.
It is aged six years with a mash bill of 72% corn, 15% rye and 13% malt and bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV). It carries a minimum suggested retail price of $79.99 per 750mL bottle.
“We wanted to create a truly authentic cigar blend – one that was created in partnership with a group of highly talented cigar master blenders,” Michael Paladini, Penelope Bourbon founder, said in a press release. “We are excited to release Chapter 1 of our Cigar Sessions – the perfect complementary pour for medium-bodied cigars.”
