Penelope Cigar Sessions American Whiskey

Meet Penelope Cigar Sessions Chapter 1 American Whiskey—the inaugural release in a deliberate Cigar Sessions series crafted in June 2025 to elevate medium-bodied cigars. Developed in collaboration with Dissident and Stolen Throne cigar experts, this blend merges straight bourbon, American single malt, and American light whiskey for nuanced balance and depth. Aged six years and bottled at 101 proof (50.5 % ABV), each bottle delivers richness and structure without overpowering tobacco flavors, thanks to finishing on medium‑tannin French oak staves that add elegance without heavy woody dominance. Penelope’s team tested nineteen mash-bill variations with cigar masters to nail the final profile—a tribute to thoughtful experimentation and consumer experience.

Nose: Milk chocolate, vanilla bean, candied apple, mild oak.

Palate: Layers of dried peach, tobacco leaf, warm caramel, and chocolate meld on your tongue.

Finish: Toffee, dark fruit, light oak spice—with lingering Honey Nut Cheerios sweetness and orange peel heat.

Pair with chocolate-dusted espresso squares or pecan-smoked bacon to echo the tobacco‑sweet interplay.
Serve alongside dried apricot and nut clusters to complement fruity malt and caramel tones.
Enjoy post‑dinner with sticky toffee pudding or vanilla gelato for a rich, dessert‑style finish.
