Excellent tour and tasting. They adapted to new guidelines and we enjoyed our visit. The tour included tasting several of the recent single barrel releases. Good overview of their history, how they make their product and how its different. Staff was some of the friendliest around and its was a worthwhile trip.

We had spare time while walking around Louisville and stopped in just to see what Peerless was all about. No tour scheduled but they fit us in to a tasting and I have to say, this was by and far my favorite experience of our entire weekend trip in Kentucky. Jerry made us feel like we were old friends. We were welcomed in and given a brief but very knowledgeable history on Peerless. Our tasting was excellent. 4 different single barrels (2 Rye, 2 Bourbon) and each had its own uniqueness.Thank you Jerry so much for making us feel so welcome to the distillery. And thank you Mark for leading such a great curated tasting.

Peerless is the holy grail of whisky making in Kentucky. Downtown Louisville just past Louisville slugger museum. If you are anywhere near this award-winning distillery, dont walk run. It is a bucket list for any whiskey lover!!

This was our last stop of our 11-day bourbon trail trip! We enjoyed talking to the staff before our tour. Our tour was in the distillery and we were able to see their process. We had been to many distilleries and this one was one of the top distilleries. We loved the tasting at the end and of course purchased some to take home. Dont miss Peerless!!

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the tasting hosted by Jerry. Not only were the bourbons Incredible, but the experience and storytelling were top notch. For the low price we paid for the tasting, it was unforgettable.Highly recommend... except for the fact that the bourbon was so good that we bought A LOT of bottles Don’t sleep on this distillery!!! It’s a must visit.

Went to Peerless today with my Wife and sister, even though the tasting was full so we could buy some keepsakes from our visit and we got to meet the owner. Let me tell you what a great guy he is and his family history is incredible. What an Amazing and memorable visit. Thank you Peerless and Special Thanks to Corky Taylor.

This was probably the best tour I have ever been on through a distillery. They were so friendly and they have some of the funniest storys, it was so rich with history and knowledge of the different process es not just their own. I also helps that the bourbon was amazing. They even capture how the barrels are made with pictures and examples. I had such a wonderful time I would recommend anyone to visit if they are in the area. I only wish their products were more available where I live. They have some awesome glassware for sale as well.

Looking at the label, I would have passed on this bourbon in a heartbeat. However, after the tasting and the attitude of the staff, I cannot recommend this distillery enough! The quality of their product and customer service cannot be praised enough. The bonus of the day was meeting the owner, Corky, and talking about his Dads military service. Peerless MUST be a visit when in Louisville!!!

Had no clue what to expect when we booked the tasting but it was a great experience. Facility was clean with lots of merchandise. The bar area for tastings was really cool. The lady leading the tasting was entertaining. Be sure to book this place on your next Kentucky trip. Bourbon tastes great!

I enjoyed the taste testing and the whiskey was delicious. That being said, the tour portion of this is TEDIOUS. Worst I’ve been on in the 7+ distilleries we visited this trip. Myself and others touring were visibly impatient with the long-winded descriptions of every process, the repetition of the same facts, and how our guide was all over the place. I recommend this if you have time to kill (over an hour of listening this this guy ramble on and on). I will buy their products but I will not return to this location. Something needs to be done to address this tour guide, as a local driver warned us about his “reputation.” Wish I listened to her!

Wonderful place. I was skeptical prior to arriving given the youth of the juice and price point. After tasting through their products, you can tell the level of detail that goes into the product, materials, etc. I made a purchase there as the single barrel expressions are only available on premise. This is a must taste; and I also loved the staff. Dont miss this one!

Tour and tasting were great! Our guide was super cool and all the other employees are soooo super nice.

Came here for a family bourbon tour tasting. We appreciated our 4 samples along with a discussion of the background of each of the bourbons Peerless makes. Would definitively recommend.

Great bourbon. However, the tour guide was long winded and spent over hour talking. This caused the tasting to be rushed and caused us to miss our next tour.

Amazing place and awesome tour. Never had the bourbon before, just their rye. Bourbon was fantastic and their double oak was hands down killer. Thank you for your hospitality, wish we would have done this tour on our other trips, I would have cake back every time. See you next time!!

A-mazing! We learned so much about the history of whiskey/alcohol and prohibition from a recent retiree (Jim??)!! 3 days of distilleries and learned so much from him!! Thank you Iowa

We missed the tour, but were still able to do a tasting, which was informative and enjoyable. Left with two bottles of the single barrel rye: toasted cedar & 10th St Tiki.

Was recommended to come here by a lady repoint Four Roses. This establishment is cozy - great bourbon and bourbon balls. They have a great venue for hosting events.They also offer free water bottles - how awesome!

Fantastic tour! The history as told by the tour guide and CEO was great and we felt truly welcomed there. The bourbon is delicious too! A must visit for sure.

Old name, old style bottle, passionately distillingNew 28 year old master distiller with his own recipie. First Rye bottled in 2017 and bourbon in 2018. Mostly single barrel but these guys experiment also with double barrel.The thing that makes them unique is that they have all cask strength. As they say if you want to add water thats your decision not ours.Good tour, even better tasting with a souvenir glass.

Very detailed tour and the tasting was amazing.

This place is great. The tour guide is nice. The tasting was really good. I did not except that those drinks were so strong but I do really enjoy it.

Great experience touring and learning about the facility. What set Peerless apart from the other tours Ive attended through the weekend is the distinct pride and care they have for their product demonstrated throughout the tour and proven through the complex flavor in their samples. I appreciate their attention to quality over quantity. I loved learning about their history and the process they used in comparison to some of the bigger names in the bourbon industry. I look forward to their future experiments.

Visited for a tour and was truly charmed by the entirety of the experience. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Tour guide was engaging and informative. Excellent pricing for a tour and tasting of four of the distillerys pours; tour also included a souvenir keepsake glass and chocolate. Bonus: Rye (the distillerys sweet resident cat) may have been the highlight of my entire Louisville visit.

What a great tour and tasting they give you. I will be back soon

Jerry was an OUTSTANDING guide, and host! Fascinating tour and so much fun ! Thank you

The tasting was amazing. Very knowledgeable!

Strong Bourbon! Tasting comes with a free glass. Overall good experience!

Great tasting experience. Delicious single barrel tastings you can only get at the distillery. Fun.

Its my road to peace i was getting married this week guess its a no brainer she with her dnd im leaving now with people youve sent by the way i love you and hope your ok since phones off lol have my $and all if your watching this was only way to talk

Really nice facility, my wife and I got the privilege of meeting Corky Taylor, he and his family are a facinating story. It was such a privilege. We did the tasting, top notch products, it was hard chosing what to buy. Rye the cat was good to meet as well.

What a cool experience! We were only able to go for a tasting, but we had a great time. Jerry was running the tasting and he was awesome. Excellent story teller. Great at explaining the distilling process. Educational and entertaining. I personally didn’t drink (DD), but the others in my group loved the Nectar (1st sample) and purchased bottles afterward. We got to meet “Corky” the CEO before the tasting and he told us about the history of his family and the brand. But the best part-they have a shop cat who’s adorable! They also have a couple “Rickhouse kitties” that are working cats, they keep critters out! This seems like a hidden treasure and it’s definitely worth enjoying! Thanks for a memorable experience!

Such a fun, informative, and personal tour experience! We learned so much about the fascinating history of this company and the family owners. Their products are truly first class and extra special, so we especially enjoyed the tasting part of the tour.

One of most memorable experiences Ive had in Louisville, KY. Deffinatly take the time to check this distillery out and go on the tour. Active service members and veterans get free entry to the tour. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. The bourbon is AMAZING!!!

Ive been there twice and had a great experience both times. I have not done the tour, but I have done the tasting, and both times the staff were very friendly and willing to answer all of my questions. Everyone seems to really have a passion for their bourbon and rye whiskeys. I also love tasting their new small batches, which are always very unique and delicious. Say hi to their mascot Rye if you get a chance.

Just wonderful. The tour guide was the sweetest and we even got to meet the owner.

Great tasting! Jerry was wonderful and the entire experience was great...

Awesome tour! It was about an hour long for $20, and includes a tasting with a tasting glass. We tried three single barrels and a mix of 6 bottles for a small batch. We learned about the history, saw the cooking and holding tanks, still and bottling. Very informative and lots of fun!

What a great tour and experience. A must if you visit distilleries in Louisville!

Yay! The bourbon and rye are all grown up now; our tasting experience was great! Thx

Fantastic experience! I took a distillery tour and was lucky enough to be the only one on my tour. Was able to get a close view of their whole operation, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and even got to chat with the owner Corky and master distiller. Did a great job of explaining the process to someone not particularly knowledgeable about whiskey. Would recommend to anyone visiting Louisville!

The tour was fantastic, and the whiskey is superb!

Great experience with friendly and knowledgeable staff, they truly embody Southern Hospitality! Thank you Alayna and Carson for such a warm welcome (back) today! It was also a pleasure to have Corky stop in during our tour and introduce himself and talk to us. Gary, thanks for the great tour. The rye is truly a treat for the palate! Can’t wait for the bourbon release! Whenever I am back in Louisville I will be visiting again.

Just curl up with a little RYE! True craft production with attention to detail. Their small batch is only a few barrels and their single barrel selections are superb!

Awesome craft distillery. Not on the bourbon trail, but worth checking out. They have great small batch ryes. Veteran friendly. They do have a cat inside the store room.

My wife and I called many distilleries to have our wedding because our love for bourbon. Peerless was one that kindly accepted. What a great wedding day. I couldn’t rave enough about how amazing the team at Kentucky Peerless Distillery was. They took our vision of our dream wedding beyond our expectations. Thank you for making our wedding a day we will never forget!

One of the best tours Ive ever been on, and delicious whiskey to boot. Owner of the distillery kicked it off with his cool family and distillery history, and then John was great too! Love it

We just did a tasting at this distillery. The staff was very friendly and the bourbon was great.

Stopped by for a last minute tour yesterday morning with my wife and a coworker. We had a terrific experience! The facility is inviting, clean and perfectly designed for receiving guests. It was great visiting such a small distillery where the family atmosphere is strong. We were able to taste their newly released bourbon and three rye expressions. All were absolutely delicious! Definitely stop here if you are planning on visiting a Louisville distillery.

Awesome experience with a fantastic team. Even had the pleasure of meeting with Corky for a few minutes. Hands down my favorite stop on this leg of the trail. If you haven’t been, go! It’s absolutely worth the trip!

A great distillery.

Great craft distillery. Cool history and most important great Rye and Bourbon. A must if in Louisville.

Fantastic bourbon and rye whiskey! Excellent personable staff! Bloody Mary mix is AMAZING! Cute location and tasting room! Best experience of any bourbon distillery in Louisville!

The tour was very interesting and informative. The tour guide had a wonderful voice for public speaking and eye contact. I would definitely bring out of guest here to enjoy. The tasting afterwards was nice as well.

We had a great time at our tour, lots of cool history facts,John was a fabulous tour guide and great at answering all questions everyone had. Definitely a place I would recommend checking it out. Everyone was so friendly!

Great place, nice selections, clean, friendly staff!

These guys know their whiskey and love their craft! We did a 5-whiskey tasting consisting of a small batch bourbon, small batch rye, and three single barrel ryes. All were delicious and had their own distinct character.

Great tour and people

Because of our time limits, we only did the tasting part of the tour. The staff and owners of Peerless should be proud of this very fine distillery! The retail area is well thought-out with neat displays and merchandise. The tasting room is also well done with lots of room at the counter/bar. My only regret is that I did not purchase the bigger bottle single barrel.As I write this review, I am sipping on some barrel proof with a fine cigar. It is totally delicious and my tasting notes are going wild! Cant wait to come back for the bourbon. Will look for it at my local retailer. A job well done Peerless. Keep up the good work and you should be successful for years to come!

I had a fantastic tour experience and tasting. I thoroughly enjoyed Peerless cask strength whiskey offerings and could not leave without buying a couple bottles. I highly recommend this distillery for anyone visiting the Louisville area.

Fantastic, thorough tour -- date I say fun?! After a few days of tours it was nice to have a very laid back and personal vibe to our tour. We had a great tasting topped off with a bourbon truffle and I loved their whiskey (cant wait to see how they are when theyve aged a bit longer though). Great gift shop just a bit higher price point because they are so small batch. Highly recommend!

Great tour. Cant wait to try out the Rye coming out soon and the Bourbon in the upcoming years, once its done.

This was a Fantastic Tour! I would definitely say top 3 on Whiskey Row and is worth the walk. I would definitely try and go when Corky The Owner is there. Typically on the weekends. Its an added bonus if the master distiller is there. Since they are a smaller craft distiller, it adds another perspective to how they look for quality not quantity. They have a lot of single barrel bourbons that can only be purchased at the distillery. It might seem pricey, but for only 200ish bottles per barrel, its definitely a rarity. If you dont have time for the tour, then do the tasting. You will get to taste the single barrels and they will change as they run out of supply, so visit occasionally to always try something new.

Loved hearing the owner tell us about the history of his family and the location and brand. Love the place. Great vibe.

The tour was phenomenal. The Rye whiskey is mouth watering. My wife and I had such a great time. Asked a lot of questions and never once did the staff ever balk at answering. We even met the owner whose family story is truly amazing.

They now have their whiskey rye available, but one more year till they release their bourbon. Great tour and tasting. Military friendly

Have to admit this tour was fun .. especially the tie in to the still makers ...And the history of the family tied to this brand (and how they were able to regain the distillerys #)

Its Peerless, its all in the name... There is no peer to them. Their rye is supeerior to all others. Its the sweet mash that really makes it amazing. The single barrels are insane in flavor and a level of unique that is well beyond reproach. Ney I say they are peerless... But seriously, the tour is a blast, the level of detail and care taken to educate leaves little to the imagination. The staff are inviting and knowledgeable with lots of stories to really bring the place to life. The family aspect of the operation is heartwarming, the demonstration that this is about a quality product and an amazing experience beyond that of profits and awards is the real treat. The tasting experience is by far the most amazing in the world of tastings. The different expressions and the care taken to select the single barrels, the names show they are not just a barrel but a character in a vast story that continues on with new adventures awaiting your next visit. Take in a tour, embrace the history and enjoy the fruits of the labor of this amazing family that have returned this once prominent bourbon distillery from the grave. One of the top tours and experiences in Louisville and only a fool would skip the adventure awaiting at 10th and Main.

This place is fantastic!! Hands down a great experience. The history and heritage alone will have me as a repeat customer, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the bourbon is excellent. Highly recommend.

Excellent tour and very informative. The tasting was great.

Have driven by this place hundreds of times. Heard from a coworker how awesome it is and that they offer tours. My sister and I visited and it was literally SO cool. Our tour guide was really informative and we got some really neat pictures.

Walked in too late to get a tour but was met by Perri and Jenna. These two young ladies were obviously very proud of where they worked and went out of their way to ensure that we were taken care of when we told them that we were going to come back the next Saturday to take a tour. They then gave us insights about some unusual places to eat in downtown Louisville while we were waiting on Lights Under Louisville to start. These two young ladies were outstanding representatives of this small company and it was a very pleasant experience in standing and talking with them we felt very much at home great job ladies!

Absolute highlight of the bourbon trail in Louisville. The distillery is gorgeous, great tour and fantastic tastings at the end. Not to be missed! Shoutout to Perry, fabulous guide...

Great tour! Good bourbon too!

Great place downtown Louisville to visit. Whiskey and Bourbon are excellent. Staff was amazing!

Me and a couple of friends did a tour of Peerless at the spur of the moment after visiting the Spirit of Kentucky exhibit at Frazier Museum. Small scale distillery with a ton of interesting history. A great stop when on West Main.

Beautifully restored antique warehouse. Great tour, and even better small-batch whiskeys, form a family-run operation. Peyton was a great tour guide, too!BTW, free for active military (half-price for retired).

I enjoyed the Peerless distillery tour I recently took. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and it is impressive to see how an old urban building has been repurposed into a real, working distillery. Perhaps a bit too much time was spent on the tour recounting the family history of the proprietors. While mildly interesting, this history has very little to do with the present-day operations of the distillery. Also, the product is overpriced relative to other products of similar quality (e.g. Wilderness Trail, New Riff). Of course, the proprietors have every right to charge as much as they like, and there is logic in aggressively high pricing when one has (so far) rather little product to sell. Yet, high prices discourage sales, especially repeat sales that will drive future expansion of production. I am sure I will enjoy the 200ml bottle of rye that I purchased. Once it is empty, however, I will likely replace the bottle with something from another distillery in order to broaden my tasting experience.

Nice place to see a sweet mash process. Fun to see a comeback story starting back up.

Great tour! We enjoyed our tour guide, Nicki, her knowledge of the facility and history of the family was impressive.

The people here go out of their way to make sure visitors get an opportunity to tour their distillery.My friends and I were a few minutes late for the last publicly scheduled tour for the day, but they had a private tour scheduled and asked if we could join them. The private group was okay with us joining them, and we were able to go on the tour and tasting. The tasting was good, but their whiskey is expensive. Price points for standard size bottles are $125-130.

Super informative tour and more hands on than other tours Ive been to

Awesome place and awesome whiskey! Just a few minutes’ walk from the Louisville Slugger Museum! Even though I was the only one in there, John was kind enough to give me a tasting of the whiskeys and was very thorough with the descriptions of each. If you go to Peerless, ask for John!

Very nice, personalized type tour. Peerless is just a short walk to some nice restaurants in downtown such as Mussel & Burger Bar.

Awesome staff!! Great tour and tasting experience (even for me that is not a fan of whiskeys)!! Definitely a must-do in Louisville!! Thanks a lot on the behalf of our group from Canada!!

Great tour and tasting with very informative guide.

Hubby and I have been visiting since November of 2015 and come for a visit every time were in Louisville. The history is incredible and the personal feeling of the tour is wonderful! L O V E the moonshine! We missed our annual trip last year so im looking forward to seeing what they have this year thats new and yummy.

Did a tour with my friends and we had a great time. The whiskey is fantastic.

What a wonderful place. Went back for visit 2 and Alayna remembered me from June! She is fantastic the place is fantastic!!!

Very informative tour! The products are unique in taste and quality in a wonderful family friendly environment. Great to see a family business rocketing to success with this excellent product!!

Come in as Friends...Leave as Family!Corky, Carson and the whole Peerless Team are the Best.Most bucket list item when you visit downtown Louisville.#50!Always my best,ShaneO

This place is a fantastic family-owned distillery. At first I was a little disappointed that bourbon wasnt available yet (2019), but the whiskey tour blew me away. The staff and family are very down-to-earth and have every reason to be proud of this place. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Roll on 2019!!

Great experience. I highly suggest that everyone try to visit this truly craft distillery. Get in on the ground floor of a newly revived brand.

Growing up in Kentucky, I have visited many distilleries in my day; this one stood out. Highly recommended, you will not regret the visit. Not too lengthy, yet very educational. Amazing history in a convenient location. Everything is done in house. They really go the extra mile to do what will make the best bourbon. Cant wait to try!

Not only are the owners of this facility steeped in Kentucky bourbon history but they may single handedly done one if the best small enterprise renovations in Kentucky history. My family operated a business in this building going back to 1891! When the business died, Peerless ownership remodeled this old warehouse with a heart for history and an eye of ingenuity! It is EXTRAORDINARY and a MUST SEE while visiting Louisville!!! Smooth as a double barrel! BlessingsPastor Reid Walker

My husband and I were in town for my 40th birthday. We had missed the early tour and it was almost an hour wait until the next scheduled tour. Since they were slow, they took the two of us on our own tour. You truly get to experience the process from start to finish. It was fun getting to taste the mash from the fermenting tanks. Our tour guide was fantastic, and you could tell that she loves her job! What a fun experience! Highly recommend!!

AMAZING space. Wow. Great Rye. Tour guides very knowledgeable. Get here!

Best rye on the market. Amazing family history, and incredibly friendly staff. Absolutely worth stopping by if you are in Louisville!

Very nice staff. Tour was fun. Tour could use some time management. Spent a lot of time looking at the barrels which pushed us past. Was really hoping to also try some of the Lucky Moonshine. Only had the 1 product to sample.

I visited Peerless with a group of friends. We took an extended weekend to hit the Bourbon Trail; although this is a completely different craft trail passport if you are keeping track.Corky (The owner) gave us the first part of our tour and went into the history of his family. Very Very interesting, especially why 50 is so important.Skip then took us the on the rest of the tour and it really was the best tour out of the 5 or 6 that we did that weekend. We all tried the moonshine at the end, but I have to be honest that I did not like it very much...which was surprising. We will have to come back and visit again when the Bourbon is ready in another few years.
