The first starred Henry Kraver, your classic early Kentucky bourbon pioneer. After he purchased the brand in 1899, he spent his reign investing, innovating, and merrily making booze. Until he headed into the double trouble of war and Prohibition. A familiar roadblock for many, Peerless eventually succumbed and when the last barrel was sold, it went dormant. The second chapter began in 2014, when Kraver’s great-grandson, Corky Taylor, and his son Carson, revived the project. The Taylors constructed a distillery in an abandoned 115-year-old tobacco warehouse in the Bourbon District of downtown Louisville and even got special dispensation to restore Peerless’ old DSP number, KY 50. The team has been producing the good stuff since 2015 and in 2017, a two-year-old rye whiskey became the first whiskey made at a distillery named Peerless for nearly a century. Now, Peerless Rye and Peerless Bourbon make up the core range. The distillery has strong beliefs on how to make bourbon, such as using sweet mash fermentation rather than the industry standard sour mash. This involves adding a portion of a prior fermentation batch into the next run. There’s no recycled stillage, just fresh grains and water filling the brand’s six fermentation tanks, creating sweet, floral and citrus notes in long, controlled runs of five to six days in order to retain more flavour. Peerless also insists on low barrel proof (ABV) entry and high bottle strength. This used to be commonplace, but economic factors and a cultural shift towards white spirits in the sixties prompted producers to change tact to achieve a lighter flavour and lower cost.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-29T15:13:51-04:00","created_at":"2023-03-17T14:51:42-04:00","vendor":"ConciergeUK","type":"Whiskey","tags":["ATOMCC23","Proof_100 - 125 (50 - 62.5% ABV)","RK1703","Source_MasterOfMalt0323","Type_Whiskey"],"price":22999,"price_min":22999,"price_max":22999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42854148341898,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Peerless Small Batch Rye","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":22999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/43_6ce0fb7b-3237-4309-8960-828fc9939a4e.jpg?v=1679079120"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/43_6ce0fb7b-3237-4309-8960-828fc9939a4e.jpg?v=1679079120","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Peerless Small Batch Rye at CaskCartel.com","id":24427964891274,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.573,"height":1000,"width":573,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/43_6ce0fb7b-3237-4309-8960-828fc9939a4e.jpg?v=1679079120"},"aspect_ratio":0.573,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/43_6ce0fb7b-3237-4309-8960-828fc9939a4e.jpg?v=1679079120","width":573}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhiskey: Peerless Small Batch Rye\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn impressive variety of flavour emerges from that same core of apple fruitiness, baking spice and nutty woody goodness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL ORDERS PLACED ARE GUARANTEED\u003c\/strong\u003e and WILL NOT be cancelled like with other retailers.
