Rare Perfection 12 Year Old Bourbon​

A small batch 12 year old bourbon, bottled by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers at Willett. Although the Willett distillery is producing its own liquid again now, the still there were silent from the early 1980's until 2012. KBD operated the site as an independent bottler during this period (although they did still have some old Willett distilled barrels in the warehouse). Most of the barrells they replenished their stock with were purchased from Heaven Hill, which is likely where this originates.

The Rare Perfection range is exclusive to the Japanese market and is imported by Sake-Net.
