Penelope Wheated 95 Proof

Penelope Wheated 95 Proof is a premium American bourbon whiskey that uses wheat as the secondary grain in the mash bill instead of traditional rye. This approach gives the bourbon a smoother, softer, and slightly sweeter character typical of a wheated bourbon.

The Penelope Bourbon brand is known for its focus on high-quality ingredients and the precise blending of different bourbon barrels to create a balanced and complex flavour profile.

Penelope Wheated is crafted from a combination of corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley. The presence of wheat gives the whiskey a smoother texture and elegant sweetness that balances the rich bourbon character. With a strength of 95 proof (47.5 % alcohol), the bourbon maintains a bold flavour profile while remaining smooth and approachable.

On the nose, pleasant notes of vanilla, caramel, and sweet pastry appear, complemented by hints of honey and gentle spice. The palate is rich and smooth, with flavours of caramel, vanilla, gentle oak, and sweet grain. Gradually, hints of buttery pastry, honey, and mild spice emerge, creating a harmonious and balanced flavour profile. Lovers of American whiskey will appreciate it similarly to other products in the bourbon whiskey category.

The finish is medium-long, gently sweet and pleasantly warming with notes of vanilla and oak. Penelope Wheated 95 Proof is ideal for slow sipping, best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water.
