Double Oak Whiskey
Customer Rating
“Amazing step up from the White Label. Sweet and peppery, oak bites just a bit but I haven't added any water. Good green, woody aftertaste. Defo gonna get a bottle of it (tasted it in a local pub last night).”

Description
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.

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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Full-bodied vanilla, old oak, milk chocolate and a kick of cardamom.
Palate
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.
Finish
Charred oak toastiness lingers long on the finish.
