Penelope Straight Bourbon Whiskey Wheated

Penelope Straight Bourbon Whiskey Wheated is a thoughtfully crafted four-grain bourbon produced by Ross & Squibb Distillery (MGP) and bottled by Penelope Bourbon. Released in February 2025, this wheated bourbon is part of Penelope’s Core Series, which emphasizes approachable and top-notch offerings at consumer-friendly price points. Bottled at 95 proof, it is aged between 4 to 6 years and features a mash bill of 74% corn, 16% wheat, 7% rye, and 3% malted barley. Penelope Wheated Bourbon is unique for its balance of softness and spice, achieved by doubling the wheat content compared to the rye. This mash bill creates a bourbon that leans into the smooth, sweet characteristics of wheated bourbons while introducing a subtle spice from the rye, offering a twist on the traditional wheated profile. The four-grain composition adds depth and complexity, making it a versatile choice for both new and seasoned bourbon drinkers. Priced mid-range, Penelope Wheated Bourbon delivers value for its quality and craftsmanship. Its approachable proof and balanced profile make it an ideal entry point for those exploring wheated bourbons, while its unique mash bill and thoughtful production process helps it stands out.
