About
Founded in Henderson, Kentucky in the early 1880s as Worsham Distilling Company (DSP KY-50), Kentucky Peerless revived its historic legacy in 2009 under Corky Taylor and Carson Taylor, great-grandson and grandson of original founder Henry Kraver. Located in downtown Louisville’s Bourbon District at 120 North 10th Street, the state-of-the-art facility features a 26-foot continuous copper still by Vendome Copper & Brass Works, six fermentation tanks, and a 3,800-gallon beer well. The distillery processes select Kentucky grains milled, cooked, fermented, double-distilled, barreled, and bottled entirely under one roof, honoring five generations of bourbon-making heritage.
