Pros
- I love their double oak rye & bourbon. They are delicious.
- This is my favorite DO. Love this bottle!
- This one always has a place in my cabinet. One of my favorites, especially in fall/winter.
- If you’re looking for one single pour to enjoy, particularly in fall and winter for me, this one is it! It’s heavy on oak and packed with flavor, but you really need to take your time to savor and appreciate all the notes. ... in terms o...
- Overall, Peerless’s Double Oaked expression is a very good whiskey, but it hasn’t blown me away the way it has some other folks. For me, it’s a solid 7 on the T8ke scale: it’s definitely “Well Above Average.” I do recommend it if you’re...
Cons
- I have Peerless DO that is a different batch. You did a great job pulling notes that I get and generally how I feel overall about the bottle. I like it, but it leaves me feeling like it could/should be better somehow.
- the oak really does dominate here but thats kind of the point with double oak. if youre coming in expecting it to be balanced like woodford reserve youll be disappointed but if you want that heavy extracted wood character this delivers i...
- The DO Bourbon was very heavy on the oak, a little more than the DO Rye I had. The toasted has been a little more what I was looking for.

If you’re looking for one single pour to enjoy, particularly in fall and winter for me, this one is it! It’s heavy on oak and packed with flavor, but you really need to take your time to savor and appreciate all the notes. ... in terms of a true double oaked bourbon, this one is top tier.

Overall, Peerless’s Double Oaked expression is a very good whiskey, but it hasn’t blown me away the way it has some other folks. For me, it’s a solid 7 on the T8ke scale: it’s definitely “Well Above Average.” I do recommend it if you’re seeking a double oaked experience that’s darker, denser, and less sweet than some of the alternatives that are out there, but still very enjoyable.

Parent context: I had a glass of this night before last and I kept thinking “This is so much better than Woodford DO.” Reply: Af $77 it’s a no brainer to always have around, for me. I have paid $90-$100 for it in the past and been happy to do so.
