Peerless "Double Oak" Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
(750mL) - [WA 93, #8 Top 20 of 2021]

About the Whiskey:

Exposing Peerless Bourbon to two separate casks allows for two full barrel extractions. The result? Supercharged notes give this whiskey supreme complexity and mouthfeel. Our dedicated tasting team strategically selects barrels with prominent grain, fruit, and herbaceous notes as they are complemented well by the extra barrel character. This ultimately makes for a population of barrels that are packed with flavor,yet balanced enough to uphold the Peerless name.

Proof: 108.7

Tasting Notes:

NOSE: The nose opens with sweet oak accented with orange zest and cedar. Aromas of tobacco and herbs soon join.

PALATE: The first sip leads with a honey sweetness before swiftly shifting to cinnamon and spicy oak. Another sip adds leather for an earthy balance while displaying an amazing body.

FINISH: The finish continues to celebrate the viscous mouthfeel with notes of sweet, toasted oak and dry cocoa.

"Double Oak was born of a happy accident, when a leaky barrel forced the distilling team to transfer its liquid to a new charred oak barrel. Exposure to that second barrel gave the whiskey amped-up flavors and lots more complexity. This is a bourbon that has gone into overdrive, and it handles the road just fine. Its syrupy sweet texture is checked by the oak influence, and the palate opens to flavors aplenty—dried peaches, warm apple pie, Christmas spice, gingerbread, raisin cake, chocolate, and pumpkin purée. Perfect as a holiday warmer or a backyard barbecue sipper, this is a whiskey for all seasons." —David Fleming

"The bold, slightly smoky aroma teases the nose. The palate opens with ribbons of toffee sweetness intertwined with clove, cardamom and black pepper. Adding water amps up the spice, layering on cinnamon and cayenne heat. The long finish surprises with an orange peel note."
