Kentucky Peerless Toasted Bourbon Whiskey

Aged in Two Separate Oak Barrels Peerless® Toasted Bourbon is aged in two separate oak barrels.  It is initially aged in their standard, char level 3, barrel. This process develops the desired flavor profiles of caramel, brown sugar, and toffee. The already barrel-aged whiskey is then placed in a toasted barrel to finish. The toasted barrel adds more complexity with honey, vanilla, toasted spices, and chocolate.  The unique aging process allows for an elevated nose and palate. “We hand-select each barrel for the finishing process. We chose to use a medium toast because it contains less tannins which results in a more aromatic whiskey with warm, sweet, savory character and strong vanilla overtones,” explains Peerless Head Taster John Wadell.
