Peerless Whiskey was founded by a businessman with a bold personality Henry Kraver, who revived the brand from the brink of ruin in the late 1880s. Under Kraver’s guidance, rose from the ashes, increasing production 25-fold. But the growth of the brand was subsequently stunted by the very unforgiving era of Prohibition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow, a century later, Peerless Whisky is in the hands of Kraver’s great-grandson Corky Taylor and great-great-grandson Carson Taylor. Keeping Kraver’s legacy alive, the duo has resurrected the brand, even distilling under the original Distilled Spirits Plant number, DSP-KY-50 in a centuries-old warehouse in downtown Louisville, near the Ohio River. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeerless Whiskey is distilled using a process that values quality over cost. They use a sweet mash, which is costlier than the more commonly used sour mash. The spirit also enters the barrel at a lower 107 proof, which results in the use of 17% more barrels. Water is added before the maturation process as opposed to after, transforming it from a dilutant to an ingredient. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe straight rye is non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel strength, revealing a robust, authentic, unadulterated whiskey that was ranked No.15 by Whisky Advocate, on their list of Top 20 Whiskies of 2017. Peerless Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is an incredibly well-balanced whiskey with smooth, sweet notes of brown sugar, oak, and citrus. “We craft our spirits at an unhurried pace, like my great-grandfather did. Only the best bourbon and rye whiskey leaves our doors” says Corky Taylor. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33861702221955,"sku":"","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0313\/6228\/5699\/products\/image_df97606f-bf18-47c3-badc-07f29c1aba82.jpg?v=1630945617","url":"https:\/\/thebottlehaus.com\/products\/peerless-barrel-proof-rye-107-proof-750ml","provider":"The Bottle Haus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
