Crown Royal Noble Collection 16 Year Rye

Sweet and smooth , very tasty

Great - well above average.

Cown Royal Noble Collection Rye (16 year) The 2020 release of the noble collection, this being a 16 year old rye. 45% abv, possible bottled in Canada. Aged in charred white oak, 90% rye. Aroma: bourbon like, rye, spicy, cork smells of fennel seeds/rye bread. Taste: medium body, moderate spice (neat), more subdued on the rocks, very light sweetness, over time it becomes more fruity, a lot of charred oak flavor. This is a solid offering from crown Royal. I was expecting this rye to be a little bolder/complex but without any expectations it is still a very solid/good whisky especially if you can find it around 70. Cost: around 65 to 75 plus tax from my recollection Grade: B+

Nose is pleasant not what you expect though. Vanilla, oak , spice slight tobacco scent left in glass. Taste is sweet at first then turns spicy and rolls into this Canadian hug. Good for $60 bucks. If you are a crown fan buy. If you expect American rye flavor pass.
