Description
Penelope Wheated Bourbon is the latest addition to the brand’s Core Series, offering a thoughtfully balanced expression perfect for both sipping and mixing. Bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV), this four-grain straight bourbon delivers depth and approachability in equal measure
Mash Bill & Aging
Crafted from approximately 74% corn, 16% wheat, 7% rye, and 3% malted barley, it undergoes aging for 4–6 years followed by a double-cask finish, enhancing flavor complexity while preserving drinkability
Aromatic Profile
Expect a clean, inviting nose loaded with light oak, sweet corn, apple, and pear
Palate & Mouthfeel
This bourbon unfolds with layers of vanilla, honey, caramel apple, and orange zest, rounded out with a gentle rye-spice warmth. It’s medium-bodied with a smooth, pleasant structure
Finish
The finish is soft and lingering, offering brown sugar, toasted oak, and a hint of cinnamon spice
Why It Stands Out
-
Balanced & accessible – Wheated sweetness softened by rye spice appeals to a broad audience.
-
Modern craftsmanship – Double-cask finish adds nuance without overpowering.
-
Versatile sipping – Polished and enjoyable neat, yet sturdy enough for cocktails.
-
Flavor-forward – Soft, sweet, subtly spiced – perfect for fans of wheated bourbons seeking more complexity.
