The Rare Perfection whiskies are just that ”exceedingly rare and just about as perfect as whisky gets. The careful selection for this brand is unmatched in the industry. Nationality doesn't apply.” If it's a true rarity and the whiskey is great, it can be bottled. This lot of Rare Perfection 15-year whiskey is made from a bourbon mash bill of corn, wheat, and malted barley that was distilled in Canada. This whiskey was originally intended to be aged in a cold warehouse for a relatively short period of time, but the distillery was sold off and these barrels were forgotten in the back of the warehouse and left to age in the cold Canadian air. 15 years later these barrels were discovered, dumped, and bottled at barrel proof. Rare Perfection 15 year is a limited release that was bottled at cask strength, 119.7 proof.

Maker: Mt. Fuji has been a sacred and inspirational landmark in Japan for countless generations. Throughout Japan's history, Mt. Fuji has been a symbol of faith and a wellspring of artistic inspiration. Mt. Fuji has long inspired art and reverence around the world and is home to Fuji Whisky. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Fuji, Fuji-Gotemba Distillery has been pursuing the ideal whisky for many years. The beautiful experience created by JAPANESE WHISKY FUJI brings joy to life and sparks unforgettable moments of inspiration. Fuji Whisky embodies the captivating Mt. Fuji's natural beauty and the enduring tradition of craftsmanship. It's a fusion of these elements that creates a sense of "hope." The natural environment around Mt. Fuji is blessed with lush forests, crystal clear water, and pure air. FUJI whiskies are delicately fruity and mellow, and have been nurtured over time in this environment, with its unique climate and terroir. Mt. Fuji Distillery is nestled at the foot of Mt. Fuji, 620 meters (2,035 feet) above sea level and 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) from its peak. Since this is a misty area, Mt. Fuji can only be seen about 1/3 of the year, despite being at such a close distance. The high humidity maintained by a year-round blanket of fog, a cool highland climate with a yearly average temperature of 13℃ (55℉), and air purified by the forests at the foot of the majestic mountain has been combining to form its climate and terroir around the distillery. This natural environment, the cool highland climate with moderate temperature changes and high humidity, is ideal for making whisky. Because of this climate and terroir, the whisk(e)y produced at Mt. Fuji Distillery is mellow, and delicately fruity on the palate. Since 1973, Fuji-Gotemba distillery has pioneered and created, combining whisky-making techniques from three countries into one distillery. The renowned Fuji brand, emblem of the distinctiveness of Fuji-Gotemba distillery, has given rise to three unique styles: Single grain, Single Malt, and Single Blended. Philosophy: Fuji Gotemba Distillery is no ordinary distillery, as it uniquely features multiple still types to produce four different types of whisk(e)y. There are pot stills for Scotch-style malt, and a range of column stills to make grain whiskies in the Bourbon, Canadian and Scotch styles. By integrating these with Kirin's brewing technology and expertise, Fuji Gotemba Distillery creates whiskies that are neither Scotch nor Bourbon, but rather a whisk(e)y to fit the culture and tastes of the people of Japan and lovers of Japanese whisky from around the world. Covering 520,000 square metres, Fuji Gotemba Distillery is the world's largest distillery. It features separate still rooms for the malt and grain stills and its own cooperage and bottling plant. Its unique setup allows it to produce single malts and single grains on site and the world's first-ever Single Blended Whisky. Water plays a vital role in high-quality whisky production. All the water used, of course, comes from Mt. Fuji, having fallen as snow before spending more than 50 years to reach the aquifer that runs 100m deep underground. The water, the climate, and the terroir result in a mellow and delicately fruity range of whiskies, every aspect of which is overseen by Master Blender Jota Tanaka. Tasting: Nose - Caramel, Melon, Apricots Sweet and fragrant aroma of caramel and brown sugar syrup with notes of apricot and melon. Palate - Smooth, White Peach, Dried Pineapple Mellow and smooth mouthfeel, sweet and aromatic with hints of dried pineapple and white peach tart. Finish - Lingering Complexity, Luscious, Woody Spice A spreading and lingering complex, luscious barrel-aged flavours with a pleasant sweetness.

Maker: The Yamazaki Distillery is Japan’s first and oldest malt whisky distillery founded in 1923 by Suntory's founder Shinjiro Torii. Yamazaki is not only the soul place of Suntory Whisky but the birthplace of Japanese Whisky. Inspired by traditional Scottish whisky, it is said that Torii selected the land of Yamazaki at the foot of Mt. Tennozan, for its high-quality water source and natural environment ideal for whisky making. Yamazaki was born from the surprising, delicate yet profound experience of a Japanese single malt whisky. Multi-layered with fruit and Mizunara aromas, Yamazaki whiskies are complex and deep.

The House of Suntory honours the birthplace of Japanese whisky, capturing and celebrating the pioneering roots of one of the world’s greatest whiskies from the place Shinjiro Torii chose to begin the illustrious journey of Japanese whisky. Fifth generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo has returned to the roots of what made Yamazaki Single Malt quintessentially Yamazaki: deep, complex and multi-layered with fruit and Mizunara notes. Yamazaki Whisky is Suntory's flagship single malt whisky, from Japan’s first and oldest malt distillery, multi-layered with fruit and Mizunara aromas. From Yamazaki was born the surprising, delicate yet profound experience of a Japanese single malt whisky. Spiritual and deep, made at Yamazaki Distillery, the soul place of Japanese whisky, its signature multi-layered taste is highly praised by whisky connoisseurs all over the world. Today, Suntory Single Malt Whisky Yamazaki Whisky is not only the No.1 single malt whisky in Japan, but is enjoyed in more than 35 countries. Between 2014 - 2017, the annual Yamazaki Limited Editions were some of the most sough after annual release from Japan. These whiskies were limited in numbers and contained some of the best Yamazaki liquid. Once they realised there were shortages they took these released to the wayside, making room for other non-age statement whiskies such as Essence of Suntory Volumes 3 and 4 and the recent Yamazaki Cask Finish releases. The Distillery: About 95% of the barley for Japanese whisky is imported from Scotland, where it’s malted by Scottish maltsters. Yamazaki uses a mix of malted barleys, mostly non- and lightly-peated, unlike Scotch distillers who trade whisky for different styles. Instead, Yamazaki employs various methods for blending. The wort is fermented in modern stainless-steel and traditional Douglas Fir washbacks. Yamazaki uses two types of yeast: distiller’s yeast for a clean, estery wash and ale yeast for fruity, creamy notes. A long, up to three-day fermentation contributes to fruity and grassy notes, unlike shorter fermentations which produce oily, nutty flavours. Yamazaki’s still house features six pairs of copper pot stills of different shapes. Straight-sided stills give a fuller, creamier spirit, while rounded ones produce a lighter spirit. The first distillation is direct-fired, adding a toasted character, while the second uses indirect steam heating, yielding a lighter spirit. Some stills are imported from Scotland, others made locally. Both worms and condensers are used, with the twice-distilled spirit at 65-70% abv being diluted to 60-63% before aging. Yamazaki uses five types of oak casks in various shapes and sizes, including bourbon barrels, hogsheads, and Suntory’s original puncheons. Casks are made from North American white oak, Spanish oak, and Japanese Mizunara oak. White oak imparts vanilla and coconut flavors, Spanish oak adds fruity and chocolate notes, and Mizunara provides a distinct eastern character with sweet incense and citrus notes. The casks vary in size and degree of char, and maturation time. Yamazaki warehouses hold only 15% of the whisky; the rest is aged at the Omi Aging Cellar. Earthquake-resistant concrete warehouses stack barrels four high. Like their Scottish counterparts, Japanese Whisky is aged in pot stills but benefits from Japan’s warmer climate, which enhances oak flavour extraction. This, combined with Japanese oak, gives Yamazaki whisky its truly unique character. The blenders at Yamazaki, who taste 200-300 samples daily, ensure each vatting is harmonised for six months before bottling, with no caramel used for colouring—only the oak’s influence determines the whisky’s hue. Nose - Dried Persimmon, Honey, Incense Opens with dried persimmon, rich honeyed sweetness, with flourishes of warming incense and clove spices. Palate - Orange Peel, Smoke, Smouldering Spices The flavour is mellow and intricate, presenting the mature sweetness of orange marmalade and the gentle sweetness of red beans. The complex interplay of smokiness and spice adds to the allure. Finish - Sandalwood, Light Resin, Vanilla The aftertaste is long and beautiful, with a lingering blend of smokiness and spice that leaves a lasting impression.
