Since opening, Peerless has doubled production of their signature bourbon and rye, currently producing approximately 12 barrels a day.

They have seven flavored moonshines and on June 3rd will release their latest “Clear Shine”.
Located on 10th Street, Peerless is playing an active role in the revitalization of the Portland area by serving as a destination beyond “The 9th Street Divide”. They were recently recognized with a Cornerstone Award from the Louisville Downtown Partnership for their contribution to the Central Business District. As a destination on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour, Peerless welcomed tourists and bourbon enthusiasts from all over the world in the first year.
About Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co.: Kentucky Peerless originated in Henderson, KY in 1889 under the leadership of an entrepreneur named Henry Kraver. At the height of their production, Peerless was making 200 barrels of whiskey per day. Peerless was one of the few Distilleries to have a medicinal license during Prohibition and on June 3, 2015 Kraver’s descendants, Corky Taylor and his son, Carson Taylor (4th and 5th generation respectively) revived the Peerless name by re-opening the Distillery in Downtown Louisville. The finest grains are milled, cooked, fermented, double-distilled, and barreled as bourbon & rye all under one roof in the state-of-the-art distillery. Kentucky Peerless is open to the public Wednesday through Saturday for tours, tastings and retail shopping.
