Made from a mash of corn, rye, and malted barley and aged in new charred American oak, it comes out with a deep amber color, sweet oak aroma, and a smooth, mellow palate of caramel, vanilla, and oak, closing on a long, warm, spiced finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to drink Peerless Bourbon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven the barrel-proof strength, add a few drops of water to open it up before sipping neat — the batch variation means it's worth tasting each release slightly differently.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peerless","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42629115085018,"sku":"VWS_7105","price":76.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/9972\/2044\/products\/db77116c-99bd-11ea-8725-027b56b897b2_6a672f22-1904-42d1-bfca-9ae045ac55ca.jpg?v=1653685611"},{"product_id":"peerless-straight-rye","title":"Peerless Straight Rye 200ml 200ml","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeerless Straight Rye comes from Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co. in Louisville, a family distillery revived in 2015 after Prohibition shut down the original operation in 1917.

The result leans into prominent grain, fruit, and herbaceous character from the base rye, layered with extra oak depth and a fuller mouthfeel from the second barrel.
