Penelope Bourbon is embracing the flavors of the season with a new addition to its award-winning ready-to-pour lineup. The Apple Cinnamon Old Fashioned brings a touch of autumn warmth to the classic cocktail, blending bourbon and rye with notes of apple, spice, and sweetness. Crafted in small batches and launching across select states, it’s a fall-inspired pour designed for effortless enjoyment and festive gatherings.
A press release from Penelope Bourbon disclosed that this modern take on the classic Old Fashioned is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV). With approximately 12 servings per bottle, 11,000 cases of Apple Cinnamon Old Fashioned will be available in 12 states in 2025 – Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin for a suggested retail price of $29.99. Starting in January 2026, Apple Cinnamon Old Fashioned will be extended to all markets nationwide. It is presented in Penelope’s distinctive matte white 750mL glass bottle with deep apple-red lettering.
As the newest edition to Penelope’s ready-to-pour cocktails portfolio, Apple Cinnamon Old Fashioned joins Peach Old Fashioned and Black Walnut Old Fashioned ready-to-pour cocktails, which are available year-round nationwide. The Peach and Black Walnut expressions recently earned platinum awards in the Pre-Mixed Cocktail category at the 2025 ASCOT Awards, underscoring Penelope’s leadership in the growing ready-to-pour category.
“Our Apple Cinnamon Old Fashioned is the third addition to our popular ready-to-pour portfolio, and it’s absolutely perfect for this time of year,” said Michael Paladini, Penelope founder and vice president of strategy for MGP Ingredients. “The bourbon and rye blend used for this Old Fashioned makes this the perfect pour for the fall.”
