Penelope Bourbon Releases New Wheated Expression
Penelope Bourbon introduced a new addition to its Core Series of expressions with Penelope Wheated Bourbon.
The latest innovation expands the Penelope lineup with an approachable wheated bourbon that delivers on versatility due to its proof and price points. Penelope Wheated is bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV) and available nationwide in February at a suggested minimum retail price of $39.99.
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,” Michael Paladini, Penelope founder and vice president of strategy for MGP, said in a news release. “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.
“Wheated is the perfect addition to the Core Series portfolio,” Danny Polise, Penelope founder and master blender, said. “With its 95 proof point, Wheated brings full-bodied depth and complexity. A balance in blending we’ve been looking forward to releasing.”
