Join us for a truly memorable evening celebrating Penelope Bourbon, one of the most exciting and innovative names in modern American whiskey.



Founded in 2018 and named after co-founder Michael Paladini’s daughter, Penelope Bourbon blends tradition with a modern approach to American whiskey. Now part of MGP’s portfolio and distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, the brand is known for its signature four-grain mash bill—corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley—creating a balanced profile of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, baking spice, and subtle sweetness. Its innovative spirit shines through in expressions like Architect, Barrel Strength, and the award-winning Cooper Series cask finishes.

To celebrate these exceptional bourbons, Chef Bijan and our bar team have crafted an exclusive paired tasting menu. Each course and cocktail is thoughtfully designed to highlight the depth, balance, and versatility of Penelope’s portfolio.
