Crown Royal Blenders' Mash

vanilla smooth

Nose: Rye bread, Taste: spices, nutmeg, more rye bread, sour banana. Experience: this feels far more like someone trying to make a copy of Jack Daniel's rye than any sort of bourbon. Its cheap and for the price not bad but it is not any sort of bourbon. Strange because if it were I'd be much more inclined to the original name.

Nose: Baking spices Cinnamon Citrus Peel Taste: Sharp oak Slightly sour Tannin bitterness, like a way oversteeped black tea Not for me. Tempted at several times to pour it down the drain, but couldn't stomach the idea of having wasted the money on the bottle.

I liked it, I thought it was a lot like a decent US bourbon.
