Peerless Black Friday Private Barrel Edition
(0.75l, 53.5%)
Black Friday…at barrel proof!
Prohibition was certainly no easy time for any distilling company but none more so than Kentucky Peerless. Before Prohibition started they were making around 10,000 barrels of Whiskey a year and their investments into the local area had put them on track to become one of Kentucky’s biggest distilleries. By 1917, every drop was out of their barrels and the company ceased production until 2015. Since re-opening, Peerless has stayed true to its roots. Ancestors of the founder Henry Kraver are fully involved in reviving the business and they are determined to stay true to a handcrafted style of creating premium Whiskeys. From grinding grain to aging, everything is done in-house at Peerless, ensuring that the quality the distillery prides itself on will not be lost.
Peerless brings a completely new set of flavors and style that Whiskey lovers are sure to enjoy. Meet special private barrel "Project Black Friday". Corky Taylor, 4th Generation, carefully hand selected this unique cask. Bottled at barrel proof, so that you can experience every drop of Peerless in its most potent form. On the tongue, you’ll find exceptional notes of caramel and vanilla and oak and pepper.

Logan,

Robert,
One of my favorite ryes! Notes of honey, caramel and oak perfectly balanced with a smooth peppery spice.
Jonathan,
I never tried Peerless due to its price point, but decided to take a chance on the Black Friday Select Barrel. It was almost undrinkable. Young, thin, hot and no finish.
