Peerless Bourbon – Second Limited Release
Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company
Saturday, August 3, 2019
9 am – 5 pm
Complimentary tastings of both Peerless Kentucky Straight Rye
and Bourbon every half hour from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
The 2015 revival of Kentucky Peerless revealed Corky and Carson Taylor’s dedication to maintaining the integrity of Henry Kraver’s process of handcrafting great whiskey. Corky and Carson decided to patiently wait for Peerless Bourbon to age at the distillery at the hand of Caleb Kilburn, now Master Distiller at Peerless. Caleb implemented the use of sweet mash, low distillation proof, low barrel entry proof, and non-chill filtration to create a complex and distinct spirit worthy of the Peerless name.
We are beyond excited to share that more Bourbon has reached maturation. After selling out of the Peerless Bourbon on the first day, we are happy to announce limited quantities are back in stock. The doors will open at 9 a.m. and complimentary tastings of Peerless Kentucky Straight Rye and Bourbon will be offered every half hour from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. Tours will be offered at 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. and will be limited to 30 people per tour.

“Driving up to Peerless and seeing a line of people who stood in the rain, waiting for our bourbon, was nothing short of breathtaking.
It is hard to describe how proud I am of everyone at Peerless and all that we have accomplished in our short tenure. The fact that the whiskey public had enough faith to brave thunderstorms for the 1st Peerless Bourbon in 102 years speaks volumes about the quality of the work and the character of the team that Corky Taylor has assembled.
The reception was beyond anything that I could have imagined as inventory that was supposed to last better than a week disappeared in a matter of hours.
It was surreal and I cannot thank everyone who supported us enough. That reception drives us to continually strive to produce the best product possible and uphold the Peerless name. We have been blessed.”
