Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Light oak wafts up first, followed by sweet corn and crisp apple. A hint of fresh pear adds a delicate fruitiness. Subtle vanilla and honey notes emerge as the bourbon opens up.

Palate: Smooth and well-rounded. Vanilla and honey flavors lead, complemented by a caramel apple sweetness. A touch of orange zest provides a citrusy brightness. The wheat in the mash bill lends a soft, creamy texture.

Finish: Medium-length with lingering brown sugar and toasted oak. A gentle warmth spreads, accompanied by a subtle cinnamon spice. The sweetness gradually fades, leaving a pleasant, dry oak sensation.

Penelope Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted using a mash bill that includes wheat as the secondary grain, which contributes to its smooth, sweet character. The bourbon is aged for a minimum of two years in new, charred American oak barrels, allowing it to develop its rich flavor profile while maintaining a balanced and approachable taste.

Penelope Wheated Bourbon achieves its smooth, sweet profile without using any artificial flavors or additives. Instead, it relies on a unique four-grain mash bill that includes a higher percentage of wheat, creating a naturally mellow and approachable whiskey.

The brand name "Penelope" isn't just a random choice - it's inspired by the founder's daughter, born during the creation of the whiskey. This personal touch adds a heartwarming backstory to each bottle.

Despite being a relatively young brand (founded in 2018), Penelope Wheated Bourbon has already won multiple awards, including a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition - a feat that typically takes years for most whiskey brands to achieve.
