Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company offers behind-the-scenes tours of how the finest Bourbon and rye are crafted from grain to bottle. Located in Louisville’s Bourbon District, just one block away from The Kentucky Bourbon Trail Welcome Center® at The Frazier Museum, Peerless is family-owned and operated by fourth and fifth-generation relatives of the original owner. With history dating back to 1889, Peerless’ product was one of the few whiskeys available by prescription for medicinal use during Prohibition.
Whisky Magazine crowned Peerless the Global Craft Producer of the Year in 2019, and American Whiskey Magazine named their Bourbon the Best Kentucky Bourbon in 2020.
