A true testament to the art of Canadian blending, designed for the discerning palate seeking familiar bourbon notes with Crown Royal’s signature smoothness.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A surprisingly inviting aroma for what might be assumed is a typical Canadian blend. Initial notes of sweet caramel and vanilla bean emerge, mingling with a gentle hint of dried apricot and a subtle baking spice, perhaps nutmeg. There's a delicate underlying corn sweetness that speaks to its 'bourbon mash' identity, alongside a whisper of oak.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and approachable, a hallmark of Crown Royal. Sweetness leads with creamy vanilla and soft toffee, bolstered by a pleasant butterscotch character. Mid-palate introduces a slight peppery spice, balanced by ripe stone fruit notes – think peach or plum. The 'bourbon mash' influence is evident in its fuller body than typical Crown Royal, but it maintains a light, almost ethereal quality, preventing it from being heavy.

Finish: A medium-length finish that is clean and soft. Sweetness lingers with vanilla and a faint toasted oak. The spice gently fades, leaving a pleasant warmth and a touch of dried fruit. Very smooth with no harsh edges.
