Kentucky Peerless Small Batch Barrel Proof Bourbon is crafted by Peerless Distilling Company in Louisville, Kentucky, using a sweet mash. It's aged for at least four years and bottled at cask strength without chill filtration.
The palate opens with ribbons of toffee sweetness intertwined with clove, cardamom and black pepper. Adding water amps up the spice, layering on cinnamon and cayenne heat. The long finish surprises with an orange peel note.
Peerless Bourbon shows off the distillery’s prowess with a seriously legit, high-quality bourbon - but leaves room to grow into its premium $70 price tag.
