Tasting Notes:

About:

The classic flavour of Crown Royal that is balanced with fresh Georgia peach influences.

Appearance:

Orange

Nose:

A similar balance to the apple release. You get this amazing aroma of peach rings and peach juice. It reminds me of drinking the stuff from a can on Lake Garda in Italy.

You do get a whiff of some intense alcohol if you leave your nose in it for too long. Overall, though, it’s mellow, sweet and welcoming. For those of us that remember Archer’s Peach Liqueur, it’s similar to that but with less sugar on the nose.

Palate:

Still a very syrupy palate to start off with. The peach isn’t that noticeable at first but once you begin to move it around your mouth it pops a little more.

A little note of butterkist popcorn, vanilla, orange oil and orange bitters, too. It almost tastes like the final sip of an Old Fashioned cocktails. The sugar syrup, the whisky, some flavour modifiers pushing through right to the end.

Finish:

You get more of those gently bitter notes at the end, but peach bitters are my favourite to use, so this is quite nice if I’m being honest. The alcohol can come across as quite young and quite grain forward, the syrupy texture of the liquid also sticks around for quite a while, too.

Comments:

It’s good, and I love peach as a flavour profile so some bias plays into this. It feels like it would be more versatile when it comes to mixed drinks, offering that slightly more bitter profile but with a big, juicy, welcoming flavour profile.

Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by The Whiskey Wash or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it. Per our editorial policies, this in no way influenced the outcome of this review.
