Crown Royal 31 Year Old
The new Crown Royal 31 Year Old (46% ABV) was crafted using barrels hand-selected by Master Blender, Mark Balkenende. The finished whisky contains some of the rarest Crown Royal whisky in the world and also constitutes the oldest blended whisky from the brand.
Layered and complex, the whisky offers a silky-smooth mouthfeel, with notes of rye spice, vanilla, red apple, and toasted oak. The finish is long and comforting, with warm fruity spice.
“Crown Royal Aged 31 Years is our rarest variant to date and serves as the perfect addition to any luxury spirits collection,” said Hadley Schafer, VP of Crown Royal. “This whisky has been patiently aging for over three decades, and it’s a true representation of the journey we have taken to create something extraordinary. We are excited to share this unique expression with our loyal brand adorers.”
