Kentucky Peerless 3 Year Single Barrel Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose begins with a deep honey and a dark fruit syrup. Florals and tobacco come in later giving the aroma and amazing balance and complexity.

Palate: The taste starts with a pop of cinnamon before showcasing white fruit, caramel, and sweet/spicy oak. The second sip is a bit more earthy, highlighting some grasses and rye spices.

Finish: The finish celebrates both sweet and spicy oak, but features an encore of chocolate and floral.

Distillery Information

Originally operating as Worsham Distilling Company, the Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company began in Henderson, Kentucky in the early 1880s. In 1889, under the leadership of the entrepreneur and our ancestor, Henry Kraver, Peerless Whiskey production began to flourish.

Kraver wasted no time making upgrades to machinery and investing in additional warehouses that eventually became U.S. Federally Bonded following the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Thus, production of Peerless whiskey raised substantially from 8 to 200 barrels a day.

Through the early 1920s, the Peerless federally-bonded warehouses were used for whiskey storage under the armed protection of the U.S. Government. During Prohibition, Peerless product was one of the few available by prescription for medicinal use.

The original Kentucky Peerless Distilling was Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) number 50. Today, we are privileged to have that same number. The newly assigned DSP numbers are in the 20,000s. We are very happy to say DSP-KY-50 is our own.
