Process & Profile

Penelope Project X Cherrywood Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey The Barrel Tap Special Barrel explores how a distinctive finishing wood can reshape bourbon’s character. Our selection, Barrel No. 2595-1, is bottled at 112 proof and features a Cherrywood cask finish sourced from the Jura region of France.

Guided by co-founder and Master Blender Danny Polise, Project X develops bourbon blends to complement specific finishing casks. The Cherrywood expression takes the collection in a bright, fruity direction, with delicate floral qualities alongside sweetness and spice.

Presented in a 750mL bottle, our Special Barrel gives bourbon enthusiasts an opportunity to explore this less familiar finishing approach. Its 112-proof strength also leaves room to experiment with a few drops of water or a large ice cube when tasting.
