Kentucky Peerless Toasted Straight Rye Whiskey

Overview
Kentucky Peerless Toasted Straight Rye Whiskey is a limited-edition, grain-to-glass rye that elevates the distillery's signature sweet mash process through an innovative double-barrel maturation. The whiskey is first aged in a traditional char level 3 new American oak barrel before being transferred to a second medium toasted oak barrel, where it develops additional layers of sweetness, spice, and complexity. Bottled at barrel proof without chill filtration or added water, this handcrafted rye delivers an exceptionally rich and aromatic sipping experience while preserving the bold rye character that defines Kentucky Peerless.
