Crown Royal Noble Collection French Oak Cask Finished

Tasting Notes

About:

bottled 80 proof; prices around $60 per 750 ml bottle; finished in French oak barrels.
Appearance:
Honey-brown translucence like seeing the world through a bee’s beer-goggles.
Nose:
Sweet and winter spiced—think clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon—with a hint of oak.
Palate:
This whisky is as oaky as you’d expect given its “oak cask finished” claim. It starts sweet and leaves a smoky aftertaste.
Finish:
Comments:
I find it mighty fine of Crown Royal to make a whisky anyone can like, as opposed to just those with a sweet tooth. Now, if they can just work on a way of making it more affordable. Imagine how much money we might save if they just ditched those velvet sacks with their gold embroidery, cords, and tassels? Blasphemy!
