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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e107 Proof (ABV 53%)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"textbox\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTHE DISTILLERY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"uabb-infobox-title-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOriginally operating as Worsham Distilling Company, Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company began in Henderson, Kentucky in the early 1880s.
