Founder Michael Paladini on Penelope Wheated Bourbon

“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, founder and vice president of strategy for MGP. “It’ll be a welcomed addition to our core line up.”

A Carefully Balanced Mash Bill for a Smooth, Complex Profile

With a carefully balanced mash bill of 74% corn, 16% wheat, 7% rye and 3% malted barley, Penelope Wheated Bourbon 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.

Master Blender Danny Polise on the New Expression

“Penelope Wheated Bourbon is the perfect addition to the Core Series portfolio,” said Danny Polise, 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.”
