Penelope Bourbon Unveils New Wheated Bourbon to Enrich Its Core Series

Penelope Bourbon Expands its Core Series with Wheated Bourbon

Penelope Bourbon, one of the fastest-growing whiskey brands in the United States, has just announced the launch of its latest innovation: the Penelope Wheated Bourbon. This new expression will be part of Penelope's Core Series, which already boasts a range of award-winning bourbons, including Barrel Strength, Architect, and Four Grain.

Scheduled to hit shelves in February, the Wheated Bourbon is priced at a suggested retail of $39.99 and is bottled at an approachable 95 proof (47.5% ABV). With its introduction, Penelope aims to attract bourbon enthusiasts and newcomers alike by offering a product that balances quality with affordability.

A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

Michael Paladini, the founder and Vice President of Strategy for MGP, stated, "Wheated bourbons are more popular than ever, and we think we hit the mark with this one, from flavor to proof to price." This enthusiasm is evident in the thoughtful crafting of the Wheated Bourbon's mash bill, made up of 74% corn, 16% wheat, 7% rye, and 3% malted barley.

This unique blend promises a rich and sweet flavor profile with a smooth finish that is particularly inviting. As you sip, you can expect to experience a complex dance of aromas and flavors—from light oak and sweet corn to hints of apple and pear. The bourbon reveals layers of vanilla, honey, and caramel apple, rounded out by bright notes of orange zest. The finish lingers with a warm embrace of brown sugar, toasted oak, and a delicate touch of cinnamon spice.

Danny Polise, Penelope's co-founder and master blender, commented, "Wheated is the perfect addition to the Core Series portfolio. With its 95 proof point, Wheated brings full-bodied depth and complexity." This new offering is a testament to Penelope's commitment to blending innovation with traditional bourbon whiskey making.

Recognition in the Whiskey World

Founded in 2018, Penelope Bourbon has quickly established itself as a significant player in the whiskey landscape, earning praise for its smoothness and unique flavor profiles. The company has secured over 40 awards across various categories in the spirits industry. Notably, its Barrel Strength and Toasted Rye bourbons recently won Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

The introduction of Wheated Bourbon marks an exciting new chapter for the brand, which continues to expand its product line while maintaining a focus on quality and flavor. Penelope Bourbon is available in 49 states and seven countries, demonstrating its growing international appeal.

The Future is Bright for Penelope Bourbon

With its diverse offerings, from the acclaimed Four Grain and Toasted bourbons to this new wheated variant, Penelope Bourbon is committed to continuing its innovation within its limited releases and collections. The company is setting itself up as a top contender among premium whiskey brands.

Furthermore, Penelope aims to make its products accessible to a broader audience by providing quality bourbons at competitive prices. It will be interesting to see how Penelope's latest offering resonates with both seasoned bourbon drinkers and newcomers when it launches next month.
