Peerless High Rye Bourbon

Kentucky Peerless High Rye Mash Bill Bourbon stands out with its elevated rye content, intensifying both sweetness and spice for a bold, well-balanced pour. Distilled and bottled in Louisville, Kentucky, at the historic Peerless Distilling Co., this small-batch bourbon continues a family legacy dating back to the 1880s. Re-established in 2015 by Corky Taylor and his son Carson, Peerless has quickly risen to prominence with its grain-to-bottle philosophy and refusal to chill filter—preserving robust flavor and texture in every release.

This High Rye Bourbon features a proprietary mash bill that includes a significantly higher percentage of rye than traditional bourbons, amplifying both the sweet caramel notes and the signature spicy kick rye lovers crave.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Warm seasoned oak and worn leather meet zesty citrus, with cedarwood, dark fruit, and sweet grass rounding out a layered aroma.

Palate: Candied oak and toasted sugar are lifted by a bright tea-like freshness and charred orange peel, all wrapped in a rich, syrupy mouthfeel.

Finish: Sweetness collides with earthy depth as notes of warm leather, rich tobacco, and lingering spice unfold in a bold, complex finale.

Peerless has garnered acclaim across the industry, including multiple Double Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and praise from Whisky Advocate and The Bourbon Review. Its commitment to craftsmanship and bold flavor profiles make this High Rye Mash Bill Bourbon a standout for seasoned sippers and collectors alike.
