Peerless Single Barrel - Argonaut 2023

This store pick was an orphan of a set that was bundled with a Weller Full Proof from Argonaut in Denver Colorado (2023). The color on this is a deep rich walnut. The nose on this has hints of yellow cake and cream cheese frosting. The first sip brings forth a sweet cinnamon aromatic burst. The baking spice lingers with a little bit of florals. The second sip is dryer with deeper tannic oak and leather. This is a well balanced oak bomb, that with a hit of water brings out floral sweetness with rasins, leather, and unsweetened cinnamon gum. Overall not as complex and complementary as one would expect from peerless, but a good pour for sipping on in the fall.
