Peerless Toasted Barrel Bourbon Whiskey
Depth Amplified. Character Refined.
Peerless Toasted Barrel Bourbon represents the next evolution in small-batch craftsmanship from Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. After aging in traditional charred oak barrels, this bourbon is carefully transferred to a second, custom-toasted barrel—bringing out deeper complexity without overwhelming the bold grain character Peerless is known for.
The toasting process coaxes out rich notes of caramelized sugar, oak spice, and dark fruit, delivering a layered and robust expression of Peerless’s signature low-barrel-entry proof bourbon. Bottled at barrel strength and never chill-filtered, this is an authentic whiskey experience for true connoisseurs.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Deep amber with copper undertones and a slow, oily viscosity.
Nose:
Warm notes of brown sugar, toasted oak, and vanilla bean rise immediately, followed by hints of dark chocolate, orange peel, and baking spice.
Palate:
Full-bodied and rich. Layers of sweet toffee, cinnamon-dusted almonds, and molasses glide across the tongue. Mid-palate reveals nuances of cherry compote, clove, and honey-drizzled graham cracker. The toasted barrel influence adds warmth and depth without overshadowing the bourbon’s natural sweetness.
Finish:
Long, spiced, and satisfying. Lingering notes of charred oak, cracked pepper, and caramelized sugar fade slowly, inviting contemplation.
