A really enjoyable, smooth whiskey with undertones of cinnamon and a pronounced rye character. With its spicy finish, it stands out as one of the superior Crown Royal selections I've encountered!

About this bottle
For this blend, Crown Royal's Blender Mark Balkenende chose 100% Coffey Rye. This sought-after whisky, crafted in a Coffey column still, features a high-rye mash bill composed of corn, rye, and malted barley. The spirit undergoes aging in new oak for seven to nine years. Crown Royal operates its Coffey Still annually for a continuous five-week period to create this whisky, which serves as a fundamental component of Crown Royal's signature blend. This offering is exclusive to Ontario and limited to 30,000 bottles.

Very mellow overall. It's sweet, with rye and oak notes. No alcohol sting on the nose or throat. It didn't blow me away, but I found it quite enjoyable neat or on ice.
The banana flavor was immediate. Incredibly smooth and full of taste. I'd certainly drink this again.
Palatable, but mild and straightforward. Not necessarily a negative.
Better than I anticipated for a Crown Royal offering.
