Kentucky Peerless Straight Rye

Peerless Distilling’s first whiskey in nearly a century; at 2 years old it’s precocious. Captivating on the nose; fruit-driven with orange peach nectar melded with vanilla custard and nice details of clove and nutmeg. The palate pours big and bold bursting with fruit alcohol and a face slap of spicy peppery rye. While it’s a touch hot the reveal of 53.7% makes this forgivable. A generous splash of water unleashes more flavor baking spice and aniseed on the finish.
