Welcome back to Whiskey Wednesday! This week’s featured drop comes from Penelope’s highly anticipated Estate Collection: the Omega release, a bold American bourbon that, like last week’s Never Say Die Small Batch Bourbon, proves how innovation and storytelling continue to redefine what modern whiskey can be.
Penelope Omega is the latest release in the Estate Collection and one of the most exclusive Penelope bottlings to date. Aged for 11 years and finished in French Oak barrels, it balances power with refinement, making it a standout in the brand’s growing portfolio.

Limited to just 2,000 bottles
Features rare French Oak staves matured for three years and selected with OakScan® technology
Balances classic bourbon character with a bold new finish
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.
