Peerless Cognac Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
(750mL) -

About the Whiskey:

Cognac Barrel Finished Bourbon consists of Peerless Small Batch Bourbon that undergoes an additional aging process in barrels that previously held a premium cognac. This finishing process imparts unique flavors to the bourbon, blending the rich, sweet, and spicy characteristics of bourbon with the fruity, floral, and nutty notes from the cognac-soaked barrels. The Peerless team strategically selects Bourbon barrels that will create the perfect blend, highlighting the traits received from the cognac barrel. 

Exposing Peerless Bourbon to two separate casks allows for two full barrel extractions. Our dedicated tasting team strategically selects barrels that are complemented well by extra barrel character for our barrel-finish program. This ultimately makes for a population of barrels packed with flavor, yet balanced enough to uphold the Peerless name.
