Indiana made wheated bourbon from MGP, similar to their rye whiskey, may just be the best wheated bourbon in the world. Sure, Weller and Pappy have their place, but when MGP’s wheated bourbon is bottled at the correct proof and age, it really becomes a toss up. It lacks the signature leather note of Weller, but it more than makes up for it in soft fruit and silkiness that rivals even Four Roses. Penelope’s 95 proof, non-chill filtered non-age stated wheated bourbon for under $40 has got to be at the top of that list. Sweet and tropical fruit on the nose with light nuttiness. On the palate, it’s the softest pillow of bourbon flavors you’ll ever encounter with more tropical fruit, fully mature grain, and just a touch of oak to provide enough body. If you like elegant, this is your whiskey. If you like weekday sipper, this is your whiskey. If you like something refined, easy to drink, retaining tons of flavor, this is your whiskey.
