Crown Royal Deluxe

Don't really know but I like it!

I tasted this non-age statement blended Canadian whisky neat at 40%abv in the evening. It is chill-filtered with artificial colour. This is the whisky that started it all for me, back in the Crown and Cola era of my young adulthood. On its own it has a distinct synthetic caramel note. It reminds me of the Dollarstore caramel cubes, melted plastic and all. It has just enough alcohol bite to open the senses. The palate is pleasant with apple, caramel, vanilla ice cream, some cereal and grains. The finish is nearly non-existent. For a whisky supposedly composed of a blend of 50 other whiskies, it is disappointingly simple. That may be the benefit of its use with a mixer, but alone it falls short of satisfying.

Crown Royal 40% abv. No age listed, minimum is 3 years. Might be bottled in Canada, then imported into Connecticut. Aroma: apple, fruity, sweet Taste: moderate to high level of sweetness that dominate (maple/vanilla/toffee), minor fruitiness and oak. I feel like the last couple times I have had it, they tasted different, the first time I tried this I thought it was around a B-/B grade, it as less sweet and more grains/oak. For this review it was a lot sweeter, might have been slightly astringent, and seemed to be lower quality. I may revisit in the future. Overall, from the handful of times I have had it, it is average if you can find it below 20 bucks. Cost: ~17 plus tax for a 750 ml Grade: C/C+

Better than i expected it to be. Maple and cereal. Nice creamy texture. Nut much depth to it, but for the price, this ain’t bad at all.
