Whiskey Review: Crown Royal Blenders’ Mash

The flavor is sweet, with plenty of fruity notes: red apples, bing cherries, dried fig. More sweetness comes in when the body introduces butterscotch, toffee and vanilla. There’s a slight oakiness from the aging, but the sweet corn syrupy texture and flavor blocks out those complexities. The finish is a little hot, but dissipates quickly. Overall, the whisky has a very soft mouthfeel, and is pretty easy to drink neat or with an ice cube. I also made some cocktails with it to try it out, and much preferred to drink it with some mint and soda water.
