Peerless Distilling High Rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon

About the product: Peerless High Rye Bourbon is the first Peerless release crafted with a unique mash bill. Up until this release, the Peerless mash bill has remained consistent through our Bourbon and Barrel Finished Bourbon offerings. The new mash bill introduces a higher rye content than previous Bourbon offerings.

Despite being corn-based, bourbon owes much of its flavor to other grains. Our Kentucky Peerless High Rye mash bill has a higher percentage of rye grain, emphasizing its sweet & spicy contribution.

Tasting Notes: This Peerless High Rye Bourbon release offers a savory nose highlighting warm seasoned oak, leather, and citrus. Cedar, dark fruit, and sweet grasses further develop the complex aroma. The first sip boasts candied oak topped with toasted sugar and charred orange. A bright tea freshness emerges from the sweetness and a thick mouthfeel. Another sip adds warm leather and rich tobacco to the profile—the competing sweet and earthy notes tussle in an exciting finish.
