Peerless Double Oak Bourbon

Steong chocolatey notes. Finished in toasted barrel

This is a bold double oaked bourbon. The nose is campfire and chocolate. The proof is present, but not a huge driver of flavor. The mouthfeel is oily. Oak, dark chocolate, toffee, coffee, and a spicy kick.

Received a sample from a friend. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, dark fruit. Palate: Cinnamon and baking spices, with some mild fruit notes. Finish: Long with medium heat. Splash: A slight nutty note appears that wasn't there before. Overall: 8.5/10 - Everything about this is classic bourbon and the proof doesn't really show until the finish. The nutty note that opens with a few drops of water is a nice bonus. Too bad it's too expensive and rare to be a daily.
