Penelope Wheated Four Grain, 47.5%

Price: 40 Issue: Summer 2025 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Made from a mashbill of 74% corn, 16% wheat, 7% rye, and 3% malted barley, the nose on this one is alluringly sweet, with powdered sugar, candy corn, toasted marshmallow, and Golden Grahams floating from the glass. This has great body; the palate retains that sugary sweetness, then boosts it with vanilla pastry cream, mocha latte, and more sweet grain notes. The finish keeps a good thing going with vanilla, delicate malt, and baking spice at the fore. (Release date: 1/25)
