NEW JERSEY Brian Ireland has witnessed many a New Year’s Eve from behind the bar, serving drinks at pubs and taverns in Atlantic City and New Brunswick over the years before going on to become the founder and master distiller of Mr. Finger’s Alibi Gin in 2018. (See his cocktail recipe below.)

Penelope Bourbon’s second year of operation has been a big one. The Kentucky whiskey brand recently had their Barrel Strength bourbon named one of the best spirits of 2020 by Wine Enthusiast, and they earned a Double Gold Medal in the Straight Bourbon Whiskey category at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. And they are finishing up 2020 on another high note with the recent announcement of Batch 05, a new release of that same award-winning barrel-strength bourbon.
This limited-run offering is a straight bourbon that blends three bourbon mash bills made up of corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley. The whiskey is aged between three and four years in new American oak barrels and bottled directly from those barrels without the addition of chill-filtering.
