Peerless Bourbon Whiskey is a storied brand that dates back to the 1880s when it was first barreled and sold by E.W. Worsham & Co. Operations based in Henderson, Kentucky. Like so many other distilleries during the time, the distillery and the Peerless brand became a victim of Prohibition.

While the British Bourbon Society may have ‘Bourbon’ in its name, that doesn’t preclude its members from enjoying some stunning rye whiskey – and this here is a Peerless 3-Year-Old Single Barrel rye bottled specially for the BBS bunch! This expression was given the nickname Modjeska, after a type of confectionery first created in Louisville, Kentucky.

Kentucky Peerless Small Batch Barrel Proof Bourbon was first released to the market in June 2019, marking 102 years since bourbon had been sold by the company. Peerless Bourbon is made using a sweet mash process, meaning no backset is used in the fermentation process. This is a less popular method in the industry than the sour mash process, and arguably more difficult to control.

NOSE:

Pipe tobacco marries ripe summer fruit and seasoned oak. Aromas of sweet caramel and butterscotch mingle in. A healthy dose of heat is also present, but merely to the extent that it reminds you of the bourbon’s proof. Good overall, but not memorable.

Palate:

A heavy dose of caramel intermingles with a punch of savory tobacco. Toasted marshmallows, barrel char, and light butterscotch echo in the background. Light rye spice weaves in towards the end. It’s surprisingly modest considering the proof and has a great mouthfeel resulting in an impressive sip overall.

Finish:

Rye spice from the palate intensifies, with a nice balance of sweet caramel alongside it. Ripe fruit emerges, and to a small degree, tobacco and butterscotch reappear. Despite the emergence of additional flavors, spice remains the highlight in this satisfying, medium-length finish.
