This is already a delicious craft rye whiskey even before you factor in that it is only three years old. It’s bold, spicy, sophisticated, and packed with so many delicious rye-forward flavors that it doesn’t taste like a typical young craft rye whiskey. Instead, whereas many other young craft ryes tend to be boldly flavored with no end of herbaceous rye and young oak notes.

750 ML

This is already a delicious craft rye whiskey even before you factor in that it is only three years old. It’s bold, spicy, sophisticated, and packed with so many delicious rye-forward flavors that it doesn’t taste like a typical young craft rye whiskey. Instead, whereas many other young craft ryes tend to be boldly flavored with no end of herbaceous rye and young oak notes, this rye is already at a stage of maturity where it’s starting to trade some of its young grain and new oak notes for deep caramel, warm baking spices, and a hint of toasted oak.

dd a great balance between the dominant flavors and its deep complexity of characters to the mix, and you could have easily fooled me by claiming this as a four or 5-year-old craft rye.

About the Producer

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.
