Crown Royal Black

Great aroma, good body, a little smokey, very smooth finish

I drank this side-by-side with the Crown Royal Deluxe as a comparison. The Black is like the Deluxe, but with the flavors slightly amped up. Vanilla, maple, some citrus. The wood aftertaste is tempered a bit compared to the Deluxe. Instead, this whiskey has a bit more char/smokiness with some spice. I like it a bit better than Deluxe.

Prune, raisins and alcohol on the nose. On the palate, it runs slightly hot with vanilla, soda, prunes and raisins. Decent but probably needs to be mixed with either Dr. Pepper or Coke. I probably wouldn’t buy again.

Interesting, a little different from other canadian whiskies i have had. Bottled at 45%abv, with a beautiful dark color, actually "brown sherry" color. On the nose, it is not that strong, and it is hard to nose it really. Brown sugar notes, maple syrup (same in every canadian whisky ever lol) and some citrus note, like lemon or prune peel. On the Palate, starts with caramel for just a moment, then a spice bomb. Lots of spices, with a hot wood flavor and some orange notes. Very spicy. Medium bodied, but gets you mouth full of flavor. Not that pleasant though. Finish is medium, with the same profile. A little harsh, liked the color, i am not fond with the whole profile on this one, but i got to say it is not a bad dram at all. 68 out of 100.

crown royal's higher proof version of the deluxe. Cannot say I enjoy this one near as much neat but it makes a great cheap mixer. 20 - 30$ in my area.
