I used to be a fan of Peerless Rye without being impressed by it, but honestly, I feel the product has improved dramatically. I may have had a young barrel a year ago but this new bottle has made me a believer. Rye spice nestled in a syrupy, cotton candy fluff. Tannins need not apply. Golden, soft, it neither takes nor doles out any offense. They’ve done what they’ve set out to do.
