The careful selection for this brand is unmatched in the industry. Nationality doesn't apply — if it's a true rarity and the whiskey is great, it can be bottled. You know the palates making these choices are good, since it's brought to you by the folks at Preservation Distillery in Bardstown — the same people responsible for bottlings Very Olde St. Nick and Wattie Boone. This current release of Rare Perfection is a story of relationships and serendipity. The barrels for Rare Perfection 14 and 15 were found in the back of a unique warehouse when the new owners took stock of their purchase. Due to mutual friends in the business, the principals of Rare Perfection received a call about these sublime casks. After sampling them without any information they were blown away and asked for specifics. Turns out these ancient casks were made of new charred oak and filled with a Waterloo, Canada distilled four grain bourbon mashbill. They then aged in the single level warehouse which maintained extremely cold temperature year round. Because of this a-typical bourbon aging environment the interaction with the wood was dramatically slowed and the final result after 14 and 15 years is indeed, Rare Perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Perfection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43741810360553,"sku":"852543006328","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3250\/8905\/files\/rare-perfection-cask-strength-15-year-old-canadian-whisky-509501.jpg?v=1707647764"},{"product_id":"rare-perfection-14-year-old-canadian-whisky","title":"Rare Perfection 14 Year Old Rare Lot Overproof Canadian Whisky","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRare Perfection 14-year-old, like other sourced brands from Preservation Distillery, is wrapped up in layers of mystery and intrigue as to its source and what’s inside the bottle. Rumour has it that the barrels used for Rare Perfection 14 and the 15 year old bottling were found in a warehouse in Canada after new owners had purchased the warehouse. Preservation Distillery got the call about the casks, sampled their contents, and purchased the lot to be bottled under the Rare Perfection brand. The whiskey itself, although technically a Canadian whiskey, was distilled from a four-grain bourbon mashbill including corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley, by a now-shuttered distillery before being entered into new-charred oak. It was then aged in a single-story warehouse which maintained very low temperatures all year around with the result being a whiskey that has had a more subtle interaction with the wood than your typical bourbon and therefore bears a very light colour. The label simply states that this whiskey is an ‘overproof’ offering, which is a historic term indicating that it has been bottled at over 100 proof, and that it originates from Canada. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Perfection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43741832052969,"sku":"852543006311","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3250\/8905\/files\/rare-perfection-14-year-old-rare-lot-overproof-canadian-whisky-779473.jpg?v=1707647766"},{"product_id":"rare-perfection-8-year-old-kentucky-straight-bourbon","title":"Rare Perfection 8 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA true connoisseur finds those elusive moments of Rare Perfection for this passion of choice perhaps a handful of times in life.
