Why this is here, not in the Journal

The Hound poured this bottle but did not log a proper tasting note in the moment. The room was busy. The night kept moving. What you see below are the label facts the Hound can verify — nothing else. No secondhand tasting note. No reviewer aggregation. The verdict stays open until the Hound gets a second pour.

From the label

  • Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskey
  • 101.2 proof — 50.6% ABV
  • Estate Collection private select

Sources

Penelope’s Estate Collection is the older, higher-proof corner of their lineup. A nine-year, 101.2-proof private select is on the more interesting end of that program. The Hound poured it at The Brothers; the room was busy. Tasting writeup waits for a second pour. Reader notes welcome — especially anyone tracking the Estate Collection picks.

Tell the Hound

If you poured this bottle with notes in hand, send the impressions. Reader notes are never published as the Hound's own — they inform the writeup when the second pour lands.

Want the next one before it posts?

The Hound sends shadow invites to the list 24–48 hours before the public field note goes up. If you read this after 6 PM, that bottle is probably gone.
