There's an old axiom that claims "Two heads are better than one". Can that theory be transferred to whiskey barrels? Jim Beam's Double Oak might answer that question. You see, they initially mature this bourbon in freshly charred American oak barrels, and then move the whiskey over to a fresh set of freshly charred American oak barrels for the second part of its maturation!
A worthy replacement for the now discontinued Jim Beam Black.
Try in a Peach Smash:
Add the ingredients above to a shaker with cubed ice and shake hard for 4 seconds. Strain over crushed ice in a rocks glass and garnish with a sprig of mint and a lemon wedge.
Full-bodied vanilla, old oak, milk chocolate and a kick of cardamom.
Subtly peppery/oak-y at first. Soon enough, waves and waves of vanilla ice cream bring balance to the palate. A few touches of fruity malt.
Charred oak toastiness lingers long on the finish.

If you like the bourbon flavour, then basically this is a strong flavoured bourbon, plenty of vanilla and a nice kick. I’m recently ventured into bourbon from scotch and must admit I find these flavours a nice change and very interesting. Don’t bother if you’re stuck in your ways with a ‘type’ of scotch but otherwise enjoy!
Wait... what? A replacement for the Black Label? I had no idea. I mean, it's not like that was spectacular by any means, but it had some very sentimental connections. I'll have to see if anyone has any bottles knocking around. Anyway... Double Oak. Drier than I expected for something dosed twice with the vanillins of the oak, and that's quite pleasing. Interesting to note the comments about being too sweet - I'm not getting that at all, and I LOVE a sweet bourbon, but then I haven't got their taste-buds. The vanilla is aromatically present, but the overall effect for me is more spicy and woody. As you'd probably imagine, given the above, makes a perfectly respectable Manhattan.
American whiskey that can’t be sent in America!
I would describe it as similar to the White Label but sweeter. A bit too sweet for me I might add.
Smooth. Toasted oak bourbon.
