Price & Value
$75–$95
Small batch barrel proof · Grain-to-bottle craft
At $75–$95, Peerless Small Batch offers the most accessible entry into the Peerless lineup. You get the same grain-to-bottle craft, sweet-mash process, and barrel-proof bottling as their premium single barrels at a lower price. The low 107-proof barrel entry creates a sweeter, more approachable spirit. Excellent value for craft rye at this quality level.

The RyeCentral Peerless Small Batch Barrel Proof Rye Review
The Small Batch is the most accessible entry to Peerless's lineup, combining multiple barrels for batch consistency while maintaining barrel proof and non-chill filtration. The low 107 barrel entry proof is notable — lower than most distilleries, which creates a sweeter, more complex spirit. Bold maple and brown sugar on the nose lead to intense peppery rye and caramel on the palate. The finish is long and warming. Whisky Advocate awarded it 91 points. A great gateway to the Peerless range.
