M & T Nicasia Blanco
$39.99
"A remarkable Verdejo showing a separate approach with an oak élevage that introduces nutty and honey’d and sherry like oxidative notes to a palate of ripe stone fruit, citrus, and pineapple supported by anise, almonds, and baking spice. The 10 days spent on the skins adds a touch of grip to the palate accentuating the layers of textured acidity, unctuous body, and leesy roundness." - Vino al Vino (importer)
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

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%.

Producer Description
"Doing things by hand is a matter of honour, which is why Monkey 47 contains only hand-picked ingredients. A number of them, including the peel of bitter oranges, lemons, and grapefruits, have to be fresh off the fruit when added to the macerate prior to distillation. This requires the helping hands of hard-working locals who are willing to report for duty at seven o’clock every morning. Following meticulous sensory inspection, each ingredient is distilled using well-honed artisanal techniques and the softest local spring water before being stored in traditional earthenware vessels for maturation. The production process is complicated, comprising a combination of maceration – that is, steeping herbal ingredients in a mixture of highly rectified, molasses-based ethyl alcohol and spring water – as well as distillation, percolation, and oxidation."
