This Overlooked Kentucky Bourbon Was Spotted At Costco For $50 A Bottle - Tasting Table

"Among the selections is Peerless Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey, selling for just $50. For those who aren't familiar, this bottle comes from a historic bourbon label revived by a modern brand in the past decade. The brand itself dates back over 100 years, but this particular bottle only hit the market in 2019. Since then, however, it has racked up a reputation as a whiskey that drinks well beyond both its price tag and its four-year age statement."

"It is a strong whiskey, bottled at around 110 proof (55% ABV), depending on the batch, delivering a robust and complex flavor. Tipplers should expect notes of citrus, honey, and toasted nuts on the nose, sweet brown sugar, cocoa, and leather on the palate, and a lingering warm spice with a touch of fruit on the finish. And considering this whiskey often retails in the range of $70-100, picking up a bottle for just $50 is certainly a deal to be on the lookout for during your next Costco visit."

"For fans of Peerless, another offering from the distillery that crops up in that same set of photos on Reddit is the brand's Double Oak Bourbon Whiskey. This is a bottle that deserves its spot on the list of the best double-barrel bourbons, a twice-aged whiskey with heavy oak character. Apparently, it was first created by accident, when the contents of leaky barrels needed to be transferred to a second round of freshly charred oak barrels."

"This similarly strong bottle offers a much deeper, oaky complexity. It may not, however, come with quite the same degree of discount. It's difficult to make out in the photos, but the Peerless Double Oak appears to be selling for $84.99, only about $5 to $15 off its typica"
