Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company: Crafting the Finest Bourbon for Five Generations
Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company is a family-owned and operated distillery that has been crafting premium bourbon for five generations. Located in Louisville, Kentucky, this authentic grain-to-bottle distillery offers visitors a unique experience to witness the art of bourbon-making firsthand.
The history of Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company dates back to 1889 when Henry Kraver founded the company. However, it was Kraver's son-in-law, Roy Taylor, who took over the business and began producing some of the finest bourbons in Kentucky. The company continued to thrive under Taylor's leadership until Prohibition forced them to shut down operations.
It wasn't until 2014 that Corky Taylor, Roy Taylor's great-grandson, decided to revive his family's legacy by reopening Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company. With a passion for bourbon-making and an unwavering commitment to quality, Corky set out on a mission to create some of the best bourbons in America.
Today, Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company is known for its exceptional small-batch bourbons that are made using only the finest ingredients and traditional methods. From selecting locally sourced grains to aging their spirits in charred oak barrels, every step of their process is carefully crafted with precision and care.
One thing that sets Kentucky Peerless apart from other distilleries is their patience when it comes to making bourbon. Unlike many other companies that rush through production processes or use shortcuts like adding artificial flavors or colors, Kentucky Peerless takes its time with each batch of bourbon they produce.
Their flagship product is their award-winning Straight Rye Whiskey which has won numerous accolades including Double Gold at San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020. This whiskey boasts notes of vanilla bean and caramelized sugar with hints of cinnamon spice on the finish - making it perfect for sipping neat or mixing into your favorite cocktail.
In addition to their Straight Rye Whiskey offering they also have several other products such as Bourbon Whiskey (Single Barrel & Small Batch), American Brandy (Small Batch) & Absinthe Verte (Small Batch).
