This is a brand new offering from Peerless who in their short time in the game has racked up many awards and accolades. They are definitely doing some great work! It’s interesting for them to release a double oak version so early in their history, but damn, did they release a good one! 

Peerless first began their double oak product out of necessity. When they found leaky barrels, they would transfer the bourbon to a new charred oak barrel. They noticed the richness of the flavors after doing this and soon began intentionally double barreling their product. They age their standard bourbon 4 years and then finish it in a new barrel (assumably charred as any of the barrels are) for a few months.

Stats: NAS; 107 proof;  undisclosed mashbill; $85; Annual, limited release

Verdict: Wow, just wow. So impressive what Peerless did with this! Great notes of spicy oak, cinnamon, and leather are the most prevalent and are what linger. However, I initially get sweet honey and dark chocolate notes to start. Love this one and love the proof on it!  It's number 2 on my list of best double oak bourbons for a reason!  But it’s limited, it can be difficult to get but if you get lucky and see it available, grab it up!
