The four-grain mash bill creates a creamy, full-bodied whiskey with less bite than high-rye expressions, making it particularly approachable for both neat sipping and cocktail mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Penelope Wheated good for cocktails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Penelope Wheated excels in cocktails where you want bourbon character without overwhelming spice. It works beautifully in an Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour, or Manhattan, where the wheat's natural sweetness complements classic cocktail ingredients. The 95 proof provides enough backbone to stand up to mixers while maintaining the smooth wheat character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink Penelope Wheated Bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePenelope Wheated is versatile enough to enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. Start by tasting it neat to appreciate the wheat's softening effect, then try it with a splash of water or single ice cube to open up the flavors. For cocktails, it particularly shines in spirit-forward drinks where the wheat character can complement rather than compete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes wheated bourbon different from regular bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheated bourbon replaces the traditional rye grain with wheat as the flavoring grain, creating a softer, sweeter, and more approachable profile. While rye adds spicy, peppery notes, wheat contributes gentle sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel. Famous wheated bourbons include Maker's Mark and Weller expressions, and Penelope Wheated offers a similar approachable character at an accessible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the 375ml size worth trying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 375ml size is perfect for exploring wheated bourbon without committing to a full bottle. It provides enough whiskey for multiple tastings, cocktail experiments, and sharing with friends while allowing you to discover whether you enjoy the wheat-forward profile. For bourbon enthusiasts building their home bar, it's an ideal way to diversify your collection with different grain bills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penelope","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42112174489655,"sku":"PWSBW95P","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/8843\/0135\/files\/front_5222fcb0-1096-4f08-9437-16b136fab8d4.jpg?v=1771349877","url":"https:\/\/dramstreet.com\/products\/penelope-wheated-straight-bourbon-whiskey-95-proof","provider":"Dram Street","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
