Peerless Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 750 ML

Wine Enthusiast 93 points - This four-year-old, barrel-proof rye is a beast, but it can be tamed with a bit of water. The intense caramel aroma signals what is to come. With enough water, this big, flavorful, downright chewy whiskey offers dense and delicious maple sugar, creamy caramel, red fruit and candied ginger heat..March/2020 Ultimate Beverage Challenge 95 points - This rye shows a surprising amount of sweet fruit and toasted oak on its full-bodied palate. The aromatics lean more toward traditional grain, with savory aromas of dried honey, cloved oranges, sandalwood and a snappy finish with hints of spice. - 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation).April/2019 Whisky Advocate 92 points - A nicely layered nose reveals cocoa, fruit, nougat, nuts, and spice in abundance. The dark chocolate envelops the fruit like chocolate-covered blueberries, while the warming spice evokes fresh-baked gingerbread cookies, with traces of paraffin wax hinting at maturity. The rich palate is noticeably hot, but water treats it well, and is necessary to fully unleash the confectionary notes of Jordan almonds and root beer barrels candy as persistent vanilla and cherry coulis ride to the pepper-laced finish that’s long and expressive with drying oak..January/2019 Peerless Straight Rye Whiskey is a well balanced Rye, bolstered by sweet tones of maple, brown sugar and light citrus sweetness. Finish with a hint of oak & no burn on the throat. Due to our carefully unique distilling process, Peerless offers a smooth taste that differs from many other Ryes. Peerless Rye is a palatable sipping Rye to be savored with friends and family.
