Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. Announces Inaugural Rye Whiskey Single Barrel Release

This Saturday, Peerless will open their doors to offer for the first time the tasting and sale of three Peerless Straight Rye Whiskey Single Barrel picks hand selected by Head Distiller, Caleb Kilburn. Since releasing the Rye in the Spring of this year, the distillery has been giving tastings of the two-year-old product along with a sample of Rye new make. With the single barrel picks being offered, it will give guests the opportunity to taste up to four different Peerless Rye Whiskies.

“For me, the Single Barrel program is about showcasing the three individual flavor pillars that go into making our Flagship: oak and pepper, fruit and floral, and caramel and vanilla,” states Kilburn. Like their Straight Rye Whiskey, all single barrel selections will be bottled at barrel proof.

Beginning at 10 a.m. on November 18th, Peerless Straight Rye Whiskey Single Barrel and Flagship can be tasted and purchased at the Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. located on 120 N 10th St. in downtown Louisville. The distillery is open to the public on Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm.
