Louisville added a new distillery to its growing list, and this one is planning bottled-in-bond bourbons and ryes.

The Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company enjoyed its grand opening June 3 with friends, family and media in attendance.

Family owned by descendants of 1800s-era distiller Henry Kraver, Peerless will be a distillery to watch. The father-son duo of Corky and Carson Taylor announced the revival of their great (and great) grandfather’s Peerless Distillery in 2013 on 10^th Street and Main, essentially extending the city’s Whiskey Row efforts.

Corky Taylor, a Kentucky native who owned a financial services company in Florida, would not comment on the distillery’s cost, but admitted: “I spent twice as much as I wanted to.”

It’s a good thing he did. The beautiful brick building sits near the Ohio River and offers a glimpse of how life used to be in Louisville.

As for the technical aspects—the stuff I live for—the 14-inch in diameter, 25.5-feet tall Vendome column still shimmers next to its 80-gallon doubler. Peerless acquires American white oak Char No. 3 barrels from the Kelvin Cooperage and its grains from Consolidated Grain and Barge Company in Louisville.

Peerless will not disclose its mashbills, but said the bourobn will be a corn, malted barley and rye. Probably the best part is Peerless’ barrel-entry proof is 107, making them the second lowest barrel-entry proof in Kentucky. (Michter’s goes into the barrel at 103 proof.)

The aged whiskeys will include Peerless bourbon and rye as well as a Henry Kraver for single barrels. All will be bottled-in-bond, says Taylor.

Of course, that means we’ll need to wait four years to see how Peerless bourbon and rye taste.

For now, Peerless boasts a Lucky Kentucky moonshine brand and a production capacity of 30 barrels a week.

The gift shop is also extremely impressive, offering a true Kentucky theme that will greatly appeal to tourists.
