About Peerless Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
The roots of Kentucky Peerless Distilling date back to the early 1880s when it was operating as Worsham Distilling Company in Henderson, Kentucky. Headed by a bold entrepreneur Henry Kraver who invested in technological upgrades and new machinery as well as opened up additional warehouses, the production of Peerless products flourished, and their whiskey was one of the few available during Prohibition by prescription for medicinal use.
In 2014, Peerless Whiskey was reborn in downtown Louisville with Kraver’s great-grandson Corky Taylor and his son Carson Taylor obtaining the original Kentucky Distilled Spirits Plant Number (DSP-KY-50) from the original Peerless Distillery. Today, Kentucky Peerless Distilling offers an award-winning range of rye and bourbon expressions, including single barrel releases.
Single barrel whiskey is premium whiskey for which each bottle comes from a single individual aging barrel instead of blending together various barrels. For Peerless Straight Rye Single Barrel, Head Distiller Caleb Kilburn and his team exclusively chose barrels of supreme quality to deliver unique flavors that make this expression stand apart from the standard profiles. Peerless Straight Rye Single Barrel begins with fresh water and a sweet rye mash and it's bottled at barrel proof. Peerless whiskey is never chill filtered to preserve all the craft flavors. Feel free to add a drop of water to open up the rich and mellow flavor profile.

About Rye
As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin. It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.
By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.
A bold nose of rye grain, spices, summer fruits, and brown butter. The palate brings sweet summer fruit flavors balanced with rye spice. The finish is warm with black pepper, oak, and rye grain.
