Rare Perfection 15 Year Cask Strength Canadian Whisky

The second best of the line at Preservation. Stick with the higher proof items here. Lots of stone fruit here, including peach. Herbaceous with lots of spice and a good deal of vanilla. A good whiskey.. But the bottle was $200. No way. Sorry.

I think I just don’t like Canadian whiskey. 15 year sampler.

Initial smell after sitting open for 5 minutes smells like a caramelized crème brûlée. It is the most impressive aroma of any bourbon out there. Period. It should be noted; I am hammered at this point. But I’m pushing through, because I’m passionate about the bourbon profession. The initial draw is a deep complexity, smooth spice that’s starts with a sweet buttery caramel and ends with a bitter oak.

Very complex. Herbal, vanilla, red fruit, oak tannins. One of the weirdest pours ive had in a while

Ethanol nose with pepper spice followed by burnt sugar. Palate is immediate caramel popcorn followed quickly by nutty bitterness. I thought this was liquid cracker jacks without the cheap box prize. It's definitely different and I can see where it could be polarizing as it's a Canadian Whiskey and not Bourbon.

High rye mash bill burn. Still excellent.
