Penelope Wheated Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Penelope Wheated showcases this innovative brand's take on wheated bourbon, replacing rye with wheat in their mash bill to create a softer, more approachable expression. This variation demonstrates how grain selection dramatically affects bourbon character, offering a gentler alternative to their standard expressions while maintaining the quality that defines Penelope. The nose immediately reveals the wheat influence – exceptionally smooth aromas of vanilla cream, caramel, and honey are enhanced by the wheat, creating additional notes of fresh bread, butterscotch, and subtle fruit. There's a softness here that distinguishes wheated bourbon, with gentle spices adding interest without aggression. On the palate, Penelope Wheated delivers silk-smooth satisfaction: the wheat creates creamy texture that carries flavors of honey, vanilla custard, gentle cinnamon, pear, and light oak, all perfectly integrated into an exceptionally approachable whole. The wheated approach succeeds in creating distinctive smoothness. The finish is gentle and inviting, with the wheat ensuring a soft landing that makes this dangerously drinkable. This is perfect bourbon for those new to whiskey or anyone who prefers gentler spirits. Whether enjoyed neat to appreciate its smoothness, over ice on warm days, or in cocktails where you want bourbon flavor without bite, Penelope Wheated represents thoughtful grain selection that creates approachable excellence.
