Of the inexpensive Crown Royal's my favorite. Goes great with Manhattans

Lighter than expected, almost gets lost in a Sazerac, but makes a great Manhattan.

Good, clean smell. Goes down smooth enough. But not one that I really loved. It was good, but not great.

Add a couple maraschino cherries & you have a great cocktail. But straight is better.

This is one of my favorite ryes, it has just enough bite.
 
John
John,
Sour. Don’t know how this got best Canadian whiskey in 2017 or win any awards. Don’t believe stickers slapped on the box or fancy bags the bottles come in. Such a marketing gimmick. Maybe will have to venture back to try it again in the future to see if my tastebuds still agree.

Fantastically well balanced rye with a smooth finish. Ideal for mixing when you look for more of the butters and accents to shine through. A great go to for any occasion.

I have also been a fan of traditional Crown Royal. This has similar notes except spicier and a bit sweeter as well. A nice change of pace.

Nose: rice, pepper, rye grain. Palate: smooth, beautiful rye taste, with rice alcohol finish (rough). Overall: nicely priced, always was a big fan of Crown Royal.
 
guest
guest,
Spicey, bold rye at 90% of the mash bill. Its a hot one and the after taste is not my favorite. Old fashions and Manhattans for this one.

Smooth. Easy to sip. Big Rye taste.

Mirroring another reviewer, surprisingly delicious. That pow! of butterscotch is captivating.

On the sweeter side, but not bad for Crown
