Tastes

2nd purchased bottle. Worth it to keep it in stock. Update: After refining my palate, this is ok. I am not a big fan of the Canadian whiskys.

Top Canadian... repeat purchase. UPDATE: Yes, for a Crown Royal, it's good. I won't be a repeat buyer. There are too many better selections. Nose is simple. The palate is not complex, and the finish is only medium long.

2nd bottle. A flagship for the Irish. 🍯 sweet on the nose. Oily spice takes over on the palate. Finish is long...bitter at first but not harsh then smooth.

Great blended Irish whisky. Already have a backup. It's been 2 years since this first tasting and I gave it a 5.0...??? Oh my, my palate has evolved so much!!!

In a double elimination tasting with 8 Balvenie collections, this whisky came in 8th.

Might be a good rye but not quite there in my book
