This week's whiskey and vinyl pairing is @kentuckypeerless single barrel rye with Perry Como Sings Merry Christmas Music.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I think of classic Christmas music several singers come to mind ... Perry Como is definitely one of the first and certainly one of the best. You can feel the deep sincerity in his voice on every song on this album, but especially his interpretations of “I’ll be Home for Christmas” and “White Christmas" my two favorites on the record.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Peerless Distilling is changing the landscape of rye whiskey with it's single barrel expression. There is a depth, balance, and complexity that is truly unique compared to other ryes on the shelf that carry older age statements. Maybe it’s the sweet mash process they use, maybe it’s magical touch of Master Distiller Caleb Kilburn, but whatever it is ... it’s working.

Happy Repeal Day!! I thought it was appropriate to post some pics I took of @oldforester 1920 bottles while I was at the distillery on Whiskey Row. Fun fact: Old Forester is the only Bourbon continuously sold by the same company before, during, and after Prohibition.

86 years ago today, the 18th Amendment aka The Volstead Act was repealed by the 21st Amendment aka The Blaine Act, and control of alcohol was restored to the states, ending national prohibition after 13 years.🥃🎉🥃

Trivia questions:
• Why is Old Forester 1920 bottled at 115°?
• How many companies were granted permits to sell “medicinal whiskey” during Prohibition?
• What state triggered the enactment of Prohibition and the 18th Amendment?
• What state triggered the enactment of the 21st Amendment and the repeal of Prohibition?
