Peerless Rum Barrel Finished Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Batch #2

Exposing Peerless Bourbon to two separate casks allows for two full barrel extractions. The result? Supercharged notes give this whiskey supreme complexity and mouthfeel. Our dedicated tasting team strategically selects barrels with prominent grain, fruit, and herbaceous notes that complement the extra barrel character well. This ultimately makes for a population of barrels that are packed with flavor, yet balanced enough to uphold the Peerless name.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: The nose leads off with aromas of salt water taffy with hints of sweet florals and pears. Undertones of toasted coconut and plums join. 

Palate: The first sip rolls over the palate with waves of sliced pineapple fruit, reminiscent of an upside pineapple cake. Notes of cinnamon bread and cherry reduction stand out. 

Finish: The second sip quickly brings forth notes of a piña colada with burnt sorghum, blueberry reduction, and a kiss of sweet mint. This batch leaves you with a tropical fruit finish.

"A double barrel rum finished bourbon that is surprisingly more nuanced and tempered than you’d expect it to be." - Eric Hasman, Breaking Bourbon
