In case you haven't heard yet, which I find hard to believe, make sure you set your reminders and mark your calendar for June 22. That's when the Kentucky Peerless Distilling, Co. is set to release their first bourbon in 102 years. Master Distiller Caleb Kilburn "implemented the use of sweet mash, low distillation proof, low barrel entry proof, and non-chill filtration to create a complex and distinct spirit worthy of the Peerless name."
