One of my new favorites. Super sweet on the noise and delicate but rewarding on the palate. A bit of spice, citrus, toast & yummo! ;-) super excited about this!! Go get it!

Good stuff

Wet moss. Young oak. Slick. The moss note is hard to overlook.

Did not enjoy. Too strong and not enjoyable.

Smooth and perfect price point

Excellent bourbon; vanilla nose; spicey, smooth, and warm taste with some oak and vanilla; alcohol warmth finish (pleasant) with some lingering sweetness

One of my favorites so far. Very smooth considering the proof, nice appearance, and great flavor. Lots of vanilla and some caramel.

One of the best bottles on my bar. It is well balanced, rich, with classic bourbon flavors.

I wanted this to be better. It is good, but maybe too young for the price point. Not a bad bourbon by any means. Worth having one in your collection.

Citrus, orange specifically, smooth as honey. During a bourbon tour in Louisville, the entire group to a person picked this as the top of the trip

Thomas, Sep 12, 2020

Has a sweet undertone to it with a slow, enjoyable burn. Very good bourbon.

I like this one quite a bit. I bought based on other favorable reviews and reputation as I enjoyed prior Peerless Rye products. I like that they won't compromise their quality and the price of this is within range of similar proof products. Based on flavor profile, surprised this is a ~4 yr, but goes to show you that flavor is only partially directed by time in the barrel. Would buy again. Like that this is not $100+ like the rye, so becomes less of a big luxury to buy. Keep up the good work, and keep the quality up!

Smooth, somewhat sweet, but enjoyable

Soft, smooth, thirst quenching light finish

How Peerless gets 4 year old bourbon to taste this good is hard to fathom. It's got great flavor, although some people will find it a little "hot". If so, add a touch of water, and you'll find it sweetens up considerably. I prefer it full strength usually to bask in the glory. Their small batch is a great drink that stands up against much older products, but the real treasures are their single barrels. Their sweet mash process has resulted in some of the best tasting bourbon and rye I've ever had, and I've tasted a lot of whiskey. Just thinking about it on here again might make me run by the distillery next weekend and pickup the latest single barrels.

If I could drink 5 bourbons for the rest of my life, this would be one of them. Very smooth, very good.

Mike, May 31, 2020

Exceptionally smooth!

Christopher, May 12, 2020

Really enjoyed this one. Nice balanced flavors. Easy to enjoy. Not too sharp. Not smoky or Peaty. Just nice flavors

Erik, May 2, 2020

Fantastic Bourbon, rich and sweet with a nice balance of oak and spice. Pairs extremely well with a cigar if you're so inclined.

Tyler, Jan 15, 2020

Excellent Bourbon. has the most sought after effect when drinking whiskey of making my mouth water as I drink it.

Tim, Jan 3, 2020

Full bodied and full flavored. Excellent bourbon with an ice cube or a little water.

On the nose, deep vanilla and burnt caramels are present with a faint citrus zing to taper off. The palate is immediately filled with toasted oak, mild spice of pepper with a dash of cinnamon and Homemade Cherry Cola from an Old Fashioned Drug Store during the 80’s to round the taste out. On the finish, dashes of butterscotch, vanilla and cherry syrup embark on a journey of nostalgia as if you’ve sampled Peerless Bourbon before... This is truly a unique bourbon. Side note: This drinks well below it’s proof and above it’s age. . . . Additional notes: Pour an ounce or two over vanilla bean ice cream, it will change your life. Cheers!
