Crown Royal XO

Very good - a cut above.

Crown Royal XO 40% abv. No age listed, minimum 3 years. Finished in cognac casks. Aroma: sweetness, fruity Taste: sweet, fruity, dark fruits, brandy/cognac notes on the back end, minor grains, minor spice, minor barrel notes at the back end. Brandy/cognac like aftertaste lingers, medium body. Overall a solid/good whisky but nothing spectacular/extraordinary. It is worth a try if you can find it below $50. I may revisit this one in the future. Cost: $44.99 plus tax for a 750ml Grade: B

Smooth with a sweet finish and a nice warmth. Really good for sipping by the fire
