Rare Perfection 14 Year: An Invigorating Canadian Whisky
Rare Perfection 14 Year, distilled and (presumably) aged in Canada, tames the punchiness of its higher proof, older counterpart while offering a rich, sweet, and invigorating flavor profile. Creme brulee and various sugar notes are the most dominant flavors, with hints of stone fruit, oak, and leather adding dimension. At $160 for a 14 year, it’s an interesting whiskey that is unique yet approachable.
Nose
The nose on this whiskey is a tantalizing combination of creme brulee, coconut, caramel sauce, graham cracker, cotton candy, and a rich sweetness. The bouquet of aromas is invigorating and exciting.
Palate
This 14 Year Rare Perfection offers a complex array of flavors on the palate. Notes of maple syrup, creme brulee, candy corn, brown sugar, and stone fruit all work together to deliver a sweet taste with a light spice on the backend.
Finish
Aristocratic yet inviting, the finish of this whiskey features brown sugar, maple sugar candy, a touch of dry oak, light leather, and a medium length.
