Introducing Penelope Wheated Bourbon
Penelope Bourbon has expanded its celebrated portfolio with the exciting release of Penelope Wheated Bourbon. This new entry in the Core Series promises to elevate the bourbon experience for all enthusiasts, particularly those seeking a more approachable and versatile option.
A Bourbon Designed for Every Occasion
Bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV), Penelope Wheated Bourbon aims to strike the perfect balance between flavor and accessibility. The suggested retail price of $39.99 positions it as a quality everyday bourbon, making it an excellent choice whether you're sipping it neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite cocktail.
Flavor Profile and Unique Ingredients
Wheated Bourbon diversifies its Core Series, which already includes award-winning expressions such as Architect, Barrel Strength, and Four Grain. With a mash bill of 74% corn, 16% wheat, 7% rye, and 3% malted barley, Wheated delivers a sweet character enriched by a smooth finish. The rye adds a hint of spice, making each sip inviting and complex.
The aroma features delightful notes of light oak, sweet corn, apple, and pear, while the taste reveals flavors of vanilla, honey, caramel apple, and a touch of orange zest. The finishing notes leave one with lingering brown sugar, toasted oak, and a trace of cinnamon spice, showcasing a beautiful depth of flavor.

Danny Polise, another founder and the master blender, echoed this sentiment: "With its full-bodied depth and complexity, Wheated is the perfect addition to our Core Series, and we have been eager to share it with bourbon lovers."
