Gonna start this one off with the experience, the unboxing. The tube/box isn’t cardboard, it’s something, feels like velvet, satin purple, gold embossed lettering, nice. The Crown purple bag’s gold tassels are looped over the bottle, showing the cork top. The bottle is heavy, with cut glass diamonds around the bottom. 20/20 for the esthetics. The smell is refined, it isn’t spiky or unpleasant: mint, caraway seed, rye, fresh dill, also strawberries, and crisp pears. 18/20 The first sip is warning, tingly, and mouth coating. There is rye spice, the dill, caraway, and allspice, some fruity impressions, makes me want another taste. 27/30 Well rounded, nothing is too overwhelming, it is really sweet, and a little thin in texture, though not lacking flavor. This is definitely a rye whisky, but it is a Crown Royal whisky too, sweet and friendly. I really like it, but will need more tastes over time. 21/25 Plus 4/5 of my reserved/subjective points Total: 90/100
