Penelope's 18 Year American Light Whiskey is a rare, deeply aged release from the historic Ross & Squibb (formerly Seagram's) distillery in Indiana. Drawn from a corn-forward mash and matured eighteen years in second-fill oak, it is an allocated, limited bottling from a producer better known for its four-grain bourbon — a chance to taste what nearly two decades in the barrel does to American light whiskey.
Long aging gives it a remarkably rich, creamy character for the category. Vanilla and toasted oak lead on the nose, opening to a palate of caramel, buttered corn, and baking spice, with a trail-mix nuttiness that builds as it goes. The finish is long, sweet, and warming — full of flavor yet surprisingly smooth for its strength.
This is a shelf piece and a serious gift for the whiskey lover who has the usual suspects covered: an 18-year age statement at a barrel-proof intensity rarely seen in light whiskey. Pour it neat and give it air, or add a single drop of water to open it up. Explore the rest of the Penelope range at Liquor Geeks. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is American light whiskey given serious time: eighteen years in second-fill oak, bottled at cask strength, 69.5% ABV (139 proof). Distilled from a corn-forward mash at the historic Ross & Squibb distillery in Indiana, formerly Seagram's, it is an allocated, limited release from Penelope, a producer better known for its four-grain bourbon. The long rest pays off in a deep russet amber pour that leads with vanilla, toasted oak, and honey and a whisper of orchard fruit, then caramel, buttered corn, and baking spice, with a trail-mix nuttiness that keeps building. The finish is long, warm, and sweet. This is not a first bottle or a cocktail whiskey. It suits the collector or seasoned drinker who already has the usual suspects covered and wants to taste what nearly two decades does to a style rarely seen at this age and strength. We carry it because it fills a genuine gap on the shelf and rewards patience in the glass.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — The bitterness of dark chocolate plays off the whiskey's caramel and sweet vanilla finish.
- Toasted pecans — Toasted pecans echo the trail-mix nuttiness that builds across the palate.
- Unhurried evening with a cigar — A good cigar matches the toasted oak and baking spice of a high-proof pour meant for slow sipping.
