Rare Perfection 14 Year Old Whiskey

Rare Perfection 14 Year Old Canadian Whiskey 100.7 ProofRare Perfection 14 Year from Preservation Distillery is made from a bourbon mash bill and aged in the freezing cold warehouses of Canada. Although technically Canadian Whiskey, it was distilled from a 4-grain wheated bourbon mash bill with just a hint of rye and malted barley. According to Preservation Distillery, the cold climate where this whiskey was aged has helped create its thick buttery body without the heavy lumber notes on the finish. This is due to the wood not expanding nearly as much in the cold northern climate. Rare Perfection 14 Year is an Overproof whiskey bottled 100.7 proRare Perfection is a boutique bourbon brand owned by Allied Lomar in California, who's other products include Very Olde St. Nick, Wattie Boone and the Old Man Winter bottles. They have been sourcing bourbon and bottling it for several decades, and they are all easily identified by their uniform use of the same cursive script-style typeface. Company president, Marci Palatella, was Julian Van Winkle III's agent in the Japanese market for many years, and their early bottlings were contracted to him in his Old Commonwealth distillery.The Van Winkle partnership with Sazerac in the early 2000s ended this agreement however, with the production of bottles such as this moved to Willett distillery, where they were bottled by its owners, Evan Kulsveen's Kentucky Bourbon Distillers. The stills at Willett were silent at this point and KBD were sourcing most of their bourbon from Heaven Hill. It is likely that this is where this bourbon came from. This bottle, however, is not a Bourbon, and it came from Canada.
