    Enjoyable Tour

    We were in town making stops on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. I wanted to see the difference of a craft distillery versus the big boys. Same process just a lot smaller scale. Peerless is a family run business that is rich in tradition. Our tour...More

    Good Tour

    We enjoyed this tour very much. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on the family and the distilling process. The family story is very interesting especially the tie-in to Gen Patton. Liquor is a little pricey but good.

    Interesting historical and fun tour!

    We had the good fortune of the owner dropping in on our tour. We ended up at the end having a fun conversation with him. Ask him about the General Patton, the Allman brothers, and Al Gore. Yes, there is a connection.

    Best Family Story: Kentucky Peerless (Louisville, KY) From Whiskey is My Yoga

    Kentucky Peerless Distillery has by far my favorite story of any distillery on the bourbon trail. Peerless was the 50th registered distillery in Kentucky and managed to stay open through prohibition, only to close years later. The Peerless Story is full of intrigue and history;...More

    Loved The Tour

    John, one of only 18 employees in this small distillery, took us on the tour. Starting with the rich history of the distillery and ending with the tasting of some EXCELLENT rye, this distillery should not be missed.

    Best Distillery visit ever

    We live in an area where Distilleries are plentiful. The attention to detail in this establishment is second to none. Makes sense considering this is by far one of the best whiskies I have ever tasted. The history with the Peerless name adds to the...More

    Very personal

    Didn’t know anything about this company. Small operation so tour gets right up close. Owner actually gave the history. Learned a lot. Ended with tasting. Whiskey only until next year when burnout is ready. Tour guide was amazing

    There are specific tour times and we did not need a reservation. If you have a large party you may want to call to coordinate that. Enjoy your tour! One of the best!
