Peerless 4yr Single Barrel Rye

The Peerless Distilling Co. is a family-operated legacy that dates all the way back to the 1880s. It was revived in 2015 by one Corky Taylor (who is the great-grandson of the Distillery’s original founder). What makes this distillery unique is its staunch belief in a "grain-to-bottle" philosophy. The distillery can be surmised simply as having everything and anything done in house, under the careful supervision of their Master-Distillers to assure that every bottle represents the best of the distillery. It’s a slow process, but at its heart the Peerless Distilling Co. is about the whiskey not the profits.

On the front palate, this whiskey is rich and spicy. There are strong aromas of salted caramel and burnt sugar, coupled with some darker, more exotic notes such as cacao and espresso. As the drink develops, we begin to taste the influence of the oak. Expect flavours of vanilla, coconut and leather that build upon the rich and velvety texture of this spirit. The finish is long and developed, and there is a very slight wisp of smoke and tobacco, indicating to the excellent manner in which this whiskey has been barrel aged. 

Peerless 4-Year Single Barrel Rye is a versatile whiskey that can be enjoyed in several ways, depending on your preferences and the occasion. This whiskey is perfect to be enjoyed neat on the rocks if you want to focus on the complex and powerful flavours of this whiskey. Or, take advantage of this spirit’s rich and powerful character, and enjoy in a classic cocktail, like an Old-Fashioned or a Manhattan.
