Learn MoreRare Perfection 15 Years Old Cask Strength Canadian Whiskey is a sophisticated spirit that exemplifies the pinnacle of Canadian whiskey artistry. Carefully aged for 15 years in cold Canadian conditions, this exceptional whiskey balances a rich, bold profile with remarkable complexity, thanks to its bourbon-style four-grain mashbill of corn, wheat, malted barley, and rye. Bottled at cask strength (119.7 proof), it delivers an unfiltered intensity, showcasing decadent aromas of toasted oak, maple syrup, and dark chocolate, layered with subtle hints of dried fruits and spice. On the palate, it offers a luxurious blend of velvety caramel, honeyed grains, and creamy vanilla, enriched by undertones of baking spices and a whisper of smokiness. Its long, warming finish highlights smoky burnt caramel and bold oak notes, creating a truly indulgent experience. Perfectly suited for sipping neat, with a splash of water, or even in a premium cocktail, Rare Perfection is a collector's gem that embodies luxury and the timeless dedication to quality whiskey-making.
Rare Perfection 15-Year-Old is a cask-strength Canadian whiskey made with a four-grain bourbon-style mash bill (corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley). It is aged for 15 years in a cold, single-level warehouse environment, which slows the interaction between the spirit and the charred oak barrels, creating a complex flavor profile that's both rich and refined.
Cask strength means that the whiskey is bottled directly from the barrel without dilution. Rare Perfection 15 has an ABV of 59.85% (119.7 proof), offering a fuller, more concentrated flavor compared to those reduced with water to a lower proof.
This whiskey offers a complex range of flavors, including candied orange, pear, buttercream, toasted oak, herbal tea, and caramel. Its mouthfeel is thick and syrupy, with a finish that combines toasted grain, smoky caramel, and dark fruits like pomegranate and blueberry.
The nose is vibrant with scents of ripe fruits like pear and strawberry, along with green tea, chocolate, buttercream, and a unique "dusty funk" that adds a distinct character.
Rare Perfection 15 can be enjoyed neat, with a few drops of water to enhance its flavors, or over ice. Some enthusiasts recommend letting it rest for a few minutes in the glass to allow the aromas to fully develop. It can also shine as a base in cocktails like a Manhattan.
The barrels used for Rare Perfection 15 were discovered in a warehouse after being forgotten for over 15 years. This, combined with its unique aging process and limited availability, makes it a rare and exceptional offering.
Though distilled in Waterloo, Canada, Rare Perfection 15 is bottled by Preservation Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. Its Canadian origin and four-grain bourbon-style mash bill give it both distinctiveness and versatility.
The whiskey is typically priced around $170–$200 for a 750ml bottle, reflecting its premium positioning and limited availability.
The cold aging in a single-level warehouse slows the interaction between spirit and oak, minimizing over-oaking and enhancing complexity. This process contributes to the whiskey's refined and multi-layered flavor profile despite its 15-year aging.
While its bold profile may appeal to seasoned whiskey drinkers, newcomers should approach with caution due to the high proof. Adding water or ice can help temper its intensity and bring out softer flavors.
