Holy peanuts! Is this a Beam product? If I didn’t know better, I might have mistaken this for some double oaked JB release. The nose is all sorts of nuts. Peanut butter, nutella, toffee, peanut brittle. Some more traditional bourbon aromas appear as well. Leather, baking spices, and sweet fruit, with a decent oak backbone. The palate delivers much of the same, but a bit of unwelcome sourness encroaches, a mix between orange peel and sour apple. The finish is above average, with a mouthfeel falling somewhere between thick and thin. Overall, this is really good bourbon, but the flaws I mentioned above hold it back from greatness. Unfortunately, Peerless charges a premium for all their products, and $80 is steep for a four year old whiskey that’s not magical. At least with Booker’s at around the same price, you get something that’s a minimum of six years old. Many thanks to @pkingmartin for the sample. I’d like to try more Peerless offerings, but will do so via samples or restaurant pours, instead of purchasing a bottle anytime soon.
