Bethany Brown, editor of Whisky Magazine and chair of the judging panel, emphasized the awards' focus on quality and innovation, stating, “Through the Icons of Whisky and World Whiskies Awards, we aim to celebrate the very best of the American whiskey world.

Carson Taylor, the fifth-generation President of Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company, expressed gratitude for the recognition, highlighting the dedication of their team: “We have unique standards when it comes to production. Our team has stepped up to the plate in an amazing way and it feels good to be recognized for that. I’m proud of all that our small team has accomplished and look forward to what the future holds.”

Operating under the original distilled spirits number, DSP-KY-50, the distillery maintains a focus on quality, producing all its products entirely in-house without outsourcing.
