Tasting Notes:
Peerless Bourbon is rooted in fruits, florals, and oaks. The nose features citrus, cedar, and honeysuckle as well as a nice balance of spicy oak. The first sip is that of caramel and toasted oak before a multitude of notes from around the flavor wheel show up on the palate. The finish showcases an enduring duel between sweet and spicy notes as citrus, florals, and sweet oak struggle for dominance against dry cocoa, cinnamon, and spicy oak.
The result is an amazing whiskey that should be fascinating for everyone from beginners to connoisseurs.
Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company
Peerless originally operated as Worsham Distilling Company. Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company began in Henderson, Kentucky in the early 1880s. In 1889, Peerless Whiskey production began to flourish under the leadership of an entrepreneur. Our ancestor, Henry Kraver. Kraver wasted no time making upgrades to machinery and investing in additional warehouses. These eventually became U.S. Federally Bonded following the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. By doing so, production of Peerless whiskey raised substantially from eight to over two hundred barrels a day.
The Peerless distillery is now a state-of-the-art facility with cutting-edge technology. Because of that, it is one of the most automated distilleries. Select Kentucky Peerless grains are milled, cooked, fermented, double-distilled, barreled and bottled as bourbon and rye whiskey. All under one roof. After five generations of bourbon makers, we have the patience to make your favorite bourbon.
