Crown Royal Blenders' Mash

Nose-burning sweet, charred marshmallow Body- sweet and sour baking spices Finish-a bit bitter and chemical but not bad

Spicey on the nose with a lot of pepper, rye, anise, and peppermint. Vanilla and caramel are present but subtle. Upon the mouth swish, the peppery notes mellow with vanilla, caramel, honey, and burnt sugars taking the stage. A charred woody note also becomes present. The flavors do not have much of a lingering presence, dissipating quickly a product of the low proof. If this were a higher proofed product, this flavor profile would have much more punch. Overall a good offering from Crown Royal. Nose 3.25/5; Taste 3/5; Overall 3.25/5. Shameful that this product is no longer available. Repurchase: Yes but product has been discontinued

My favourite of all the crown royals.

Crown Royal Blenders Mash (formerly bourbon mash) 40% abv, min age: 3 years, mash bill 64% corn, 32% rye, 4% malted barley May be bottled in Canada then imported into Connecticut. Aroma: fruity, sour apples, bourbon notes Taste: bourbon like, light to medium sweetness, fruity, charred oak at the back end. Over time it mellows out, losing some of the sweeter/fruity notes and letting the charred oak come out more. A decent whisky overall, nothing spectacular, but nothing to rag on either. Better than plenty of Canadian whiskies on the US market. Cost: 23.99 plus tax for a 750 ml bottle Grade: B-

Nice and smooth but has some sort of unpleasant perhaps licorice finish that I personally don’t enjoy at this price point

On the nose, the whiskey features notes of vanilla and charred wood reminiscent of bourbon casks. The spirit is thin and oily on the on the tongue. It begins with sweet vanilla and quickly transitions into char and oak in the body of the taste. It finishes with an astringent bitterness and a light smoke. There is a bitter aftertaste that is rather unpleasant after the swallow.

The nose is a woodsy note almost like barbecue. The flavor does not provide much. Not super great or complex.
