Peerless Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 750mL is a bold, handcrafted rye that embodies the spirit of traditional Kentucky whiskey-making. Distilled, aged, and bottled entirely in-house at the Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. in Louisville, this small-batch rye is crafted using a sweet mash process—never sour-mash—allowing for greater depth, balance, and natural sweetness.

Aged in charred new American oak barrels and bottled at barrel proof, Peerless Rye Whiskey delivers an exceptionally rich and full-flavored profile with no chill filtration or added coloring. Each barrel is carefully selected to highlight Peerless’s signature style: bold spice, caramel sweetness, and a silky finish that lingers.
