Penelope Wheated Straight Bourbon 750ml

Bottled at a steady 95 proof, Penelope Wheated Straight Bourbon combines a precise four-grain mash bill with extended barrel aging to deliver a naturally smooth yet structurally complex American whiskey. The recipe uses 74 percent corn, 16 percent wheat, 7 percent rye, and 3 percent malted barley, letting the wheat provide immediate approachability while the rye adds a quiet backbone. Because the distillate avoids chill filtration, heavier lipids remain intact, producing a noticeably oily texture that carries flavor longer than typical filtered spirits.

The aromatic profile opens with light oak, sweet corn, fresh apple, and ripe pear before settling into a palate loaded with vanilla, honey, and caramel apple. Bright orange zest and warming baking spices layer over those base notes, leading to a clean, persistent finish marked by brown sugar sweetness, dry toasted oak, and a faint cinnamon trace.

Designed for both immediate consumption and slower sipping, this bourbon drinks smoothly off the shelf while retaining the grain definition that justifies dedicated pours. Serve it neat to experience the full four-grain interaction, or add a single large ice cube to gently unlock the citrus and spice elements without diluting the heavy viscosity. Shoppers looking for a wheated straight bourbon that moves beyond basic corn-forward stereotypes will recognize how the specific ratio and deliberate aging timeline create a balanced spirit ready for everyday pour.
