While the appellation “Creme Brulee” is correct in that it has those dessert flavors of vanilla and caramelized sugar, this is name doesn’t really match the bold flavors that this whiskey has … Like the Estate Collection, the Architect Collection from Penelope is now definitely on my radar.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Brad Drell, The Whiskey Jar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"If you’re a fan of dessert-inspired bourbons or curious about how French oak staves transform a four-grain MGP base, the Penelope Architect Crème Brûlée is worth hunting down. But like most Penelope limited editions, bottles are snapped up quickly, so grab one if you see it.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Tortured Bourbon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"It's not a beginner's pour, but it's also not one that takes itself too seriously—kind of like a Michelin-star chef who still loves Pop-Tarts. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys rich, layered pours with a sweet tooth and a sense of adventure. It’s a bottle that rewards slow sipping, curious noses, and maybe a second pour once your palate adjusts. Score? Let’s just say it’s officially on my “hide this from guests” shelf.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Shane Benham, Brown Water Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a nice pour with some nice French oak influence. The profile leans toward the marshmallow and cream notes than the spice notes but not to the point of being too sweet. The oak character isn’t as heavy as other Architects I’ve tried, but it’s also missing some of the more intense flavors from those as well. For having its own fancy “Creme Brûlée” label, a bump in proof, and the complex stave type, I was hoping for something that stood out a little more from the standard Architect builds. Nonetheless if you like Architect or other French oak finishes, this will treat you right.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - \/r\/bourbon (vexmythocrust)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eI have to say, this is magnificent. Definitely lives up to its Creme Brûlée name but not sickeningly sweet. Very viscous so it tastes and feels like sweet vanilla cream with a touch of caramel.
