Flavor Profile Differences
Barrel influence is the main separator.
- Penelope Toasted Series: Finished in a second, freshly toasted barrel, which pushes it toward toffee, roasted coffee and darker oak. The toast level changes from batch to batch.
- Zackariah Harris: A bottom-shelf Kentucky straight bourbon, mostly sold in liters and handles. Simple caramel and oak with a short, warm finish.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Penelope Toasted Series if you want a toasty, coffee-and-toffee bourbon from a second-barrel finish with more proof behind it and with the texture that comes from skipping chill filtration.
- Go with Zackariah Harris if you want a simple Kentucky bourbon for mixing at a significantly lower price point.
Best enjoyed neat, old-fashioned (Penelope Toasted Series); highball, cocktails (Zackariah Harris).
