Review #1333 – Peerless Single Barrel Bourbon

The Schtick: Alongside their rye, Peerless is now producing a bourbon as well. This is a 200ml flask of their bourbon, bottled at cask strength, although it does not carry an age statement. Lets see how it is.

Review #1333 | Bourbon Review #596

Distiller: Peerless

Bottler: Peerless

Selection: N/A

ABV: 54.55% ABV

Age: NAS

Nose: Caramel, toffee, baking spice, lightly musty, faint copper penny.

Taste: Thin to medium mouth feel. Mild heat. Some pepper, light must, copper and then vanilla bean. Heat grows with the palate over time.

Finish: Short, pretty hot, but lots of pepper, tobacco, vanilla and faint freshly cut grass.

Overall: Overall, not bad. Not incredible, but with some good age on this, I think they’ll be doing just fine. I’ll be generous here with the ranking, given that I think in a year or two the bourbon will be hitting quite nicely.

Thanks for reading!
