Penelope Cigar Sessions Chapter 01 marks the beginning of a bold new series designed expressly for cigar connoisseurs and whiskey lovers who appreciate harmony in flavor. This inaugural release is a masterful three-spirit blend of Straight Bourbon, 100% American Single Malt, and American Light Whiskey—each element chosen for its ability to complement the complexity and character of a medium-bodied cigar.
Aged six years and bottled at a robust 101 proof (50.5% ABV), Cigar Sessions Chapter 01 delivers an elevated sipping experience with depth, richness, and luxurious balance. Created in collaboration with expert cigar blenders, this small-batch, limited-edition whiskey is engineered to enhance the ritual of the pour-and-pair, offering bold flavors that stand up to the smoke without overpowering it.
With a mash bill of 72% corn, 15% rye, and 13% malted barley, the whiskey is classic in structure yet adventurous in its multi-style blend. Chapter 01 is not just a whiskey—it is a sensory companion designed to unlock new dimensions in every cigar pairing.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This six-year-old blended American whiskey is built for one job: sitting alongside a medium-bodied cigar without getting lost in the smoke. Penelope combines Straight Bourbon, 100% American Single Malt and American Light Whiskey on a mash bill of 72% corn, 15% rye and 13% malted barley, then bottles it at 101 proof. On the nose it offers milk chocolate, vanilla bean and candied apple. The plush palate brings caramel, dried peach, tobacco leaf and toasted grain, followed by a long finish of toffee, dark fruit and sweet smoke. It suits the cigar smoker who wants a deliberate pairing and the bourbon drinker curious about multi-style blends. It also suits the collector following a new series from the start, since this is the inaugural small-batch, limited-edition release. We carry it because it was created with expert cigar blenders, and it tastes like it was designed for that ritual. It has enough structure for a Habano wrapper and is gentle enough to sip on its own.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate squares — Dark chocolate echoes the milk chocolate on the nose and the lingering chocolate on the finish.
- Aged gouda with candied nuts — The cheese's nutty sweetness plays off the whiskey's toffee, honey and roasted-nut notes.
- Long medium-bodied cigar session — Over a slow smoke, its tobacco leaf, sweet smoke and dark fruit hold their character from first draw to last.
