Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company
Toasted Bourbon Batch 2 Release
Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company, a family-owned and operated craft distillery in Louisville, announces the release of Batch 2 of their Toasted Bourbon on July 13, 2024, at 10:00 am at the Peerless Distillery located on 120 North 10th Street, Louisville, Kentucky.
Peerless Toasted Bourbon is aged in two separate oak barrels. It is initially aged in their standard, char level 3, barrel. This process develops the desired flavor profiles of caramel, brown sugar, and toffee. The already barrel-aged whiskey is then placed in a toasted barrel to finish. The toasted barrel adds more complexity with honey, vanilla, toasted spices, and chocolate. The unique aging process allows for an elevated nose and palate.
Batch #2
On the Nose: toasted vanilla Bean, crème brûlée, vanilla icing, fresh citrus, buttered toast, bit o’ honey, graham crackers
On the Palate: cola, burnt caramel, candied orange, sugarcane, salted caramel, molasses, burnt sugar cookies, peanut brittle
“We hand select each barrel for the finishing process. We chose to use a medium toast because it contains less tannins which result in a more aromatic whiskey with warm, sweet, savory character and strong vanilla overtones,”
-Peerless Head Taster, John Wadell.
We thank all of our patrons who joined us at the distillery to celebrate another batch of Toasted Bourbon!
