Mash bill
Full grain split not published.
Official percentages undisclosed. House sweet-mash bourbon typically described by reviewers as corn-forward with rye and malted barley (third-party estimates often land roughly mid-60s–80% corn / teens rye / ~10–15% malt — treat those as estimates, not Peerless-published numbers). The mash story to sell is sweet mash clarity and low distillation proof, not a printed recipe card.
