Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye

Serving: 1.5 fl. oz. shot, neat. Nose: Fresh crisp apple and pear predominate. Underlying cereal and citrus notes. Palate: Develops a fresh baked apple character with pleasant spiciness/cinnamon notes. Touch of orange zest. Finish: Baked apple and cinnamon character lingers, as does pleasant spiciness. Some cereal but not overly so. Overall: Medium/oily body with a slight pleasant spiciness. Nice supper with fresh apple to start and character developing into baked apple during sipping and finish. Good balance. Good value for money.

Blind taste test. Color - light-medium amber Nose - smells like a more subtle Blade and Bow. Ethanol dominates, but dark fruits also present. Subtle rye. Taste - caramel, apple, bready, and a finish of baking/ rye spice Upon reveal, I nailed it haha. Honey/butterscotch instead of carmel, but yup - as advertised. Not the biggest fan
