Crown Royal Reserve

You really have to dive in close to get the nose, unlike other whiskies ive tried Nose: cherry , fruity, light, slightly browned Apple mouthfeel: watery, not oily at all, drops straight to the back of your throat, only thing that tells you it’s whisky is the slight heat at the very back of the throat. Taste: cinnamon, grapes... very hard to pick out flavors for lack of much flavor.

The nose is rich with peaches, vanilla, grapes, and oak. The palate is very sweet with flavors of apple juice, spicy oak, caramel, and cinnamon. The finish is long and very mellow with a few subdued spices. The whiskey is certainly enjoyable, but not remarkable. I remember this bottle being about $35-$40 when I bought it several years ago, but it seems now the price has risen into the $50 range. At that price you can find much better whiskeys, in my opinion.
