Peter E. Hart Spirits Double Oak Kentucky Straight Bourbon 8 Year 105 Proof
105 proof 8 years Bourbon Peter E. Hart Spirits $99.99 67% corn, 23% rye, 10% malted barley

Honey and toast; fresh and bright; subtle sweetness without overwhelming; elevated oak presence from double-oaking process.

Rich oak introduction; vanilla and oak flavors developed through secondary barrel; balanced sweetness gathered on the back palate; bright fruity notes; traditional bourbon character with added sophistication.

Oak-forward with lingering sweetness; balanced and not burnt; sophisticated profile that avoids the ultra-sweet trap of typical double-oak expressions.

Overall Score
4.3 / 5
A thoughtfully executed double-oak bourbon that elevates a solid Jim Beam source barrel by adding complexity and vanilla character without the cloying sweetness often associated with the technique.
