As the fifth core expression in Penelope's Core Series, Wheated Bourbon diversifies the portfolio that includes award-winning Architect, Barrel Strength, Four Grain and Toasted. Wheated complements the existing expressions with a profile that strikes the balance between robust flavor and smooth drinkability.
"Wheated bourbons are more popular than ever, and we think we hit the mark with this one, from flavor to proof to price," said Michael Paladini, Penelope founder and vice president of strategy for MGP. "It'll be a welcomed addition to our core line up."
With a carefully balanced mash bill of 74% corn, 16% wheat, 7% rye and 3% malted barley, Wheated delivers a rich, sweet character with a smooth finish. The touch of rye adds just the right hint of spice, resulting in an inviting bourbon with depth and complexity. Wheated opens with aromas of light oak, sweet corn, apple and pear; and includes flavors of vanilla, honey, caramel apple and hints of orange zest. The finish features lingering brown sugar, toasted oak and a touch of cinnamon spice.
"Wheated is the perfect addition to the Core Series portfolio," said Danny Polise, Penelope founder and master blender. "With its 95 proof point, Wheated brings full-bodied depth and complexity. A balance in blending we've been looking forward to releasing."
