Crafted From Grain to Bottle

Cognac Barrel Finished Bourbon consists of Peerless Small Batch Bourbon that undergoes an additional aging process in barrels that previously held a premium cognac. This finishing process imparts unique flavors to the bourbon, blending the rich, sweet, and spicy characteristics of bourbon with the fruity, floral, and nutty notes from the cognac-soaked barrels. The Peerless team strategically selects Bourbon barrels that will create the perfect blend, highlighting the traits received from the cognac barrel. 

Tasting Notes 

Nose: Fresh raisins, sweet herbs, and spices, toffee pudding, sweet rich tobacco, caramel apple, plums, fruit market, toasted honey, vanilla bean, maple syrup 

Taste: cranberry raisin bread, muscadine grapes, port wine, chocolate, leather, freshly baked apricot, crisp lingering pear

 

Due to the nature of these barrels, the new expression will be extremely limited and released in Kentucky only.

 

The Peerless Barrel-Finish Program

Exposing Peerless Bourbon to two separate casks allows for two full barrel extractions. Our dedicated tasting team strategically selects barrels that are complemented well by extra barrel character for our barrel-finish program. This ultimately makes for a population of barrels packed with flavor, yet balanced enough to uphold the Peerless name.
