Due to the careful distilling process, Peerless spirits are multi-dimensional in terms of flavor. Single Barrel selections allow for concentration on a particular barrel’s unique characteristics. Master Distiller, Caleb Kilburn, carefully hand selects barrels that highlight distinctive natural profiles to be offered in the Peerless private Single Barrel selection. Whiskey profiles of Peerless caliber selections are compared one by one. Once a barrel is chosen, it is bottled and prepared exclusively and given a unique label. Each barrel typically yields 180-210 bottles.

As always, Peerless spirits are bottled at barrel proof, so Peerless patrons experience the same robust characteristics that were chosen specially for them. This drink is of the highest quality and includes only the finest ingredients. Carefully selected for its distinctive flavor profile, this drink is distilled for a smooth, bold taste. This release is the first bourbon release for Louisville-based Peerless Distilling Co. Like the distillery's rye whiskey releases, this too is produced using a sweet mash rather than a sour mash. The Kentucky straight bourbon is bottled at cask strength without chill-filtration.

Peerless Bourbon exclusively uses sweet mash instead of sour and non-chilled filtration, barrels product at 107 proof and bottles it as a barrel strength whiskey.

Nose: Right out of the glass you get notes of rye bread, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and candied apricots.
