Kentucky Peerless High Rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Peerless High Rye Bourbon is the first Peerless release to be crafted with a wholly unique mash bill since their Peerless Bourbon and Peerless Rye. Up until this release, the Peerless mash bill has remained consistent through their Bourbon and Barrel Finished Bourbon offerings. The new mash bill introduces a higher rye content than previous Bourbon offerings.
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.
After the success of their various award-winning Bourbon and Rye expressions, Peerless continues to innovate with an altered mash bill, ultimately making the High Rye Bourbon expression a regular offering.
The release will take place at the Peerless distillery at 120 North 10th Street, Louisville, KY 40202 on Saturday, April 15, 2023. Bottles will be available on a first-come-first-served basis. Bottle signings will be offered throughout the event. The first 200 bottles sold will be specially labeled and hand-numbered.
This is the latest release since Kentucky Peerless Small Batch Double Oak Rye was released back in November of 2022.
