 A nose of confectioners’ sugar and peach tart, as well as Toblerone, cherry cola, roasted almonds, barrel char, leather, and drying oak. More baking spice on the palate, melding with chocolate syrup, savory notes of roasted nuts and charred corn, pepper, and perfumed oak. Earthy notes emerge with water, along with spice and chocolate. An herbal finish offers flavors of cherry tart, light chocolate, and spice. Very tasty, and with plenty of panache. (DF, Summer 2020) 

K&L Notes

#8 on the Whiskey Advocate’s Top 20 Whiskies of 2021! This limited edition release used to be absolutely impossible to get. With the tremendous reception they had at the distillery for the Double Oak, Peerless decided to double down and expand it’s distribution. They combed the warehouses for the most fruity, grain forward, and herbal barrels – the more intense the better – and then promoted those barrels into the Double Oak program. The extra intensity of the original barrels is able to stand up to a second maturation in new oak. The whiskey than becomes the balanced Bourbon Peerless requires but with the added focus on American oak.
