Peerless Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, High Rye

Kentucky Peerless High Rye Bourbon is a bold addition to the Peerless Distilling Company’s lineup, offering a unique take on the brand’s traditional bourbon profile. Distilled and bottled in Louisville, Kentucky, this straight bourbon whiskey is the first Peerless release to feature a completely new mashbill since the introduction of their flagship bourbon and rye. With a higher rye content, this bourbon stands out as a distinctive expression in the Peerless portfolio. Bottled at 110.5 proof and aged for at least four years, Peerless High Rye Bourbon is crafted entirely in-house. Peerless is known for its grain-to-bottle approach, using a sweet mash process and avoiding chill filtration to preserve the whiskey’s natural character. The distillery’s location in Louisville, with its seasonal temperature swings, plays a key role in the aging process, enhancing the interaction between the whiskey and the barrel. Released in April 2023, this bourbon is priced around $150. Its focus on darker, earthier notes and its innovative mashbill make it a compelling choice for those looking to explore a bourbon that breaks away from traditional flavor profiles while maintaining Peerless’ reputation for craftsmanship.
