- Excerpt: Oddly enough, all of this manages to come together well enough to be approachable enough for a dram — though I’m not exactly dying for a second.

- Excerpt: 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.

Intro:
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.
-
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.
