The Rare Perfection 15yo Cask Strength whisky bottle is a unique and intriguing spirit that offers a one-of-a-kind tasting experience. Aged for 15 years and bottled at an impressive 59.85% ABV, this American whisky delivers a rich and complex profile that will captivate any aficionado. The palate is characterized by an intense sweetness, with flavors of caramel fudge and soft cinnamon spice, complemented by an herbal note reminiscent of green cardamom pods. This sweetness is balanced by a drying wood and kneaded dough mouthfeel, giving the whisky depth and complexity.
The nose of the Rare Perfection 15yo Cask Strength is truly unique, presenting a complex aroma that defies easy comparison. Described by some as having an old dusty funk, others note a slight burn from a bandsaw and the inside of a raw coconut. Despite this overwhelming note, the nose also offers inviting scents of ghee, caramel, and vanilla.
The finish of this whisky is exceptional, weaving between buttery rum balls, drying oak and tobacco, and a unique dark chocolate infused with pomegranate and blueberry. This finish is sure to impress even the most discerning of whisky drinkers, leaving a lasting impression.
Additionally, the whisky offers an oily, tongue-coating sensation with rich butterscotch and milk candy flavors right as it hits your tongue. It can be quite hot, with occasional unfamiliar boozy notes and ethanol bends, sometimes giving off an artificial taste. Floral notes like honeysuckle and hints of cola, specifically Dr. Pepper, also make an appearance. The sweetness can sometimes become cloying and artificial, with a medicinal smell akin to honey with high acid content. Despite some old corn/turpentine flavors, the medicinal and floral notes and the milk candy sensation, like oozing Milk Duds, add to the whisky's complexity.
The nose also carries a savory charcoal scent, reminiscent of a charcoal-cooked steak, which hides the forthcoming sweetness well. The butterscotch and spices dominate the main flavors, evoking memories of many lower-priced Canadian whiskies. The finish maintains an oak presence, with baking spices keeping the heat alive, although it can become somewhat cloyingly sweet at the end.
Overall, the Rare Perfection 15yo Cask Strength is a must-try for any whisky enthusiast. Its unique and complex flavors make it a standout addition to any collection.
