Founded by Henry Kraver, the history of Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. dates all the back to the 1880’s, in the heart of Henderson Kentucky.

The Temperance Movement hit Kentucky Peerless hard. Prior to Prohibition the facility produced 10,000 barrels a year of Whiskey and were on the fast track to becoming one of Kentucky’s biggest distilleries.

The growth of the brand was stunted by the very harsh era of Prohibition. In 1917, the company ceased production until 2015. Since their re-opening, Peerless has respected its heritage, rising from the ashes, vamping up production 25-fold. Every step of production is done in-house.

Today, Kraver’s great-grandson Corky Taylor and great-great-grandson Carson Taylor have brought Peerless Whiskey back to life and have released the first Peerless Whiskey to be seen in almost a century.
