Sweet mashed and bottled without chill filtration, it is bottled at 110.5 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeerless uses a sweet-mash process, starting each fermentation with a completely fresh yeast culture rather than reusing spent mash as in the more common sour-mash method. Combined with the higher rye content, the result is a bold, spicy bourbon aged around five to six years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose brings oak, warm leather, citrus peel, cedar and dark fruit. On the palate come candied oak, toasted sugar, charred orange, raisin, cocoa and subtle baking spice, and the finish is long and spicy, with rye pepper, leather and nutmeg. A few drops of water bring out its candied citrus and cocoa sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe distinctive ribbed decanter with its blue and red Peerless label makes it a handsome gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaste it neat, then with a splash of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak, warm leather, citrus peel, cedar and dark fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candied oak, toasted sugar, charred orange, raisin and cocoa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and spicy, with rye pepper, leather and nutmeg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, high rye, barrel proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Around 5 to 6 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110.5 proof (55.25% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e New charred American oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat with a few drops of water.
