Precision-engineered for flavor — Penelope Architect is a straight bourbon whiskey built on the same principles that define great architecture: innovation, precision, and no room for error. Crafted in collaboration with Tonnellerie Radoux of France — the world leader in oak barrel manufacturing — Architect uses French oak staves and Radoux's proprietary OakScan® process to engineer a truly precise and distinct flavor profile within every bottle. The result is a bourbon that is as thoughtfully constructed as it is delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the OakScan® process?

OakScan® is a proprietary technology developed by Tonnellerie Radoux that uses near-infrared scanning to precisely measure the wood composition of each stave — ensuring only the highest quality oak is used and allowing for an unprecedented level of flavor precision in the finished spirit.

How does French oak differ from American oak in bourbon?

French oak typically imparts more subtle, elegant flavors — including vanilla, floral notes, and fine-grained tannins — compared to the bolder caramel and coconut character of American white oak. Using French oak staves in Architect creates a uniquely refined bourbon profile.

How should I serve it?

Best enjoyed neat or with a single drop of water to appreciate the precise oak and vanilla complexity. Also excellent in a classic Old Fashioned where the French oak character can shine.
