Non-chill filtered to preserve its full character, this bourbon delivers the rounded, approachable profile that wheat brings to traditional bourbon's bold foundation.\n\nFrom the heartland of American whiskey production in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Penelope represents a modern approach to bourbon craftsmanship. The inclusion of wheat as the flavoring grain creates a softer, more delicate profile than rye-heavy bourbons, while the four-grain mash bill adds complexity and depth. Bottled by Penelope Bourbon Bottling Company in St. Louis, Missouri, this expression captures the essence of wheated bourbon tradition.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla custard, honey wheat bread, dried apple, subtle oak spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel sweetness, wheat grain character, toasted nuts, warm baking spices, creamy mouthfeel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium length with lingering wheat sweetness, gentle oak tannins, soft vanilla fade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47.5% (95 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e375ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNAS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLawrenceburg, IN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndiana\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFour Grain (Wheat Recipe)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFiltration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Chill Filtered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvening Sips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neat or with a single ice cube to appreciate the wheat's gentle influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBourbon Cocktails:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent in Old Fashioneds and Manhattans where smoothness is prized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComparative Tastings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect for exploring the difference between wheated and rye bourbons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGift Giving:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 375ml size makes an ideal introduction to craft bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Penelope Wheated taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePenelope Wheated offers a softer, sweeter profile than traditional rye bourbons, with prominent vanilla and caramel notes complemented by the creamy, bread-like character that wheat brings to the mash bill.
