Amador Rye Whiskey Port Cask Finish
$78.99
The Amador Whiskey Company was created by Trinchero Family Estates, a name that is much more well-known in wine circles. The cool part about this for whiskey lovers is though this is a sourced Rye, the source is an excellent distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky that unfortunately has yet to offer any of its own whiskey in Canada. That source is Willet Distillery.
Amador's Kentucky Rye Whiskey Finished in Port Barrels consists of a mashbill of 74% Rye, 11% Corn, and 15% Barley made at WIllet. It was aged in your typical virgin, charred American oak barrels for 3 years and then finished in Amador County Terra d’Oro Port barrels for 9-12 months. It is bottled at 46%.
From The Producer
"At Amador Whiskey Company, we partner with the finest craft distilleries to create limited-edition, luxury whiskeys. Partnerships include Barton 1792 in Bardstown Kentucky, Willett in Bardstown Kentucky, Castle & Key in Frankfort Kentucky, and Charbay in Ukiah California. Each Amador Whiskey is then finished in different Trinchero Family wine barrels in Napa Valley for a complex and unique flavor profile."

$107.99

Peerless Small Batch Straight Bourbon
$144.99
First hitting the market in the USA in 2019, The Kentucky Peerless Small Batch Barrel Proof Bourbon is now in Canada! Though the mash bill used for the Peerless Straight Bourbon is not disclosed, it is likely not very high-rye, as the company has released a High-Rye Bourbon in the USA.
Unchilfiltered. The alcohol volume will vary from batch to batch as Peerless does not proof down their bottles to achieve a consistent ABV. This batch was bottled at the abnormally specific 54.45% ABV, or 108.9 proof.
The Peerless name is a revived brand that first saw light in Henderson, Kentucky in the 1880s. The Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company boomed in the early 1900s under owner Henry Kraver. Though the company's Bourbon was sold during Prohibition under government licence for medical purposes, whisky production did not survive and the distillery was shut down permanently. The revival of the Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company was undertaken by Corky and Carson Taylor, the great-grandson and great-great-grandson of Henry Kraver, respectively. The new Peerless distillery is located in Louisville, Kentucky and has been in operation since 2015.
From The Producer
"Peerless® Kentucky Straight Bourbon upholds the promise of producing top-notch spirits from the historic distillery. Unlike rye, which features more hay and pepper, Peerless® Bourbon is rooted in fruits, florals, and oaks. The nose features citrus, cedar, and honeysuckle as well as a nice balance of spicy oak. The first sip is that of caramel and toasted oak before a multitude of notes from around the flavor wheel show up on the palate. The finish showcases an enduring duel between sweet and spicy notes as citrus, florals, and sweet oak tussle with dry cocoa, cinnamon, and spicy oak. The result is an amazing whiskey - fascinating for everyone from beginners to connoisseurs."
Peerless Small Batch Straight Rye
$184.99
From The Producer
"Peerless® Straight Rye Whiskey is well-balanced, bolstered by sweet tones of maple, brown sugar, and light citrus sweetness. Finish with a hint of oak & no burn on the throat. Due to the carefully unique distilling process, Peerless® offers a smooth taste that stands out from other ryes. A palatable sipping rye to be savored with friends and family."
Bottled at 55.8%.
