What does Penelope say about Omega?

According to Penelope:

“Penelope Omega is a testament to precision and craftsmanship. Finished in barrels crafted with a blend of rare, tight-grain French Oak staves – matured for three years and selected using OakScan® technology – this release embodies balance and refinement. A specialized toast enhances integration, delivering a bold, timeless experience.”

After 11 years of aging, Omega was finished in specially selected French Oak barrels. The rare, tight-grain staves and custom toast bring out layers of vanilla, dark fruit, cocoa, and sweet spice, creating a bourbon that feels both bold and refined within the Estate Collection.

What are the tasting notes?

From Penelope’s distillery notes:

  • Aroma: Warm vanilla, honey, toffee, allspice

  • Palate: Brown sugar, dark fruit, leather, cocoa

  • Finish: Sweet spice, cinnamon gum, buttery nougat

How rare is this whiskey?

Extremely rare. With only 2,000 bottles produced, Omega is one of the smallest runs in Penelope’s history. Its 11-year age statement and French Oak finishing ensure this release will be highly sought after by both collectors and fans of the brand.

Should you buy it?

For collectors and Penelope enthusiasts, Omega is a must-have. Its limited availability, bold proof, and refined finishing process make it a bottle worth chasing. For most drinkers, it’s an exciting release to celebrate, even if getting your hands on one may prove difficult.
