The aroma is more like a bourbon than a rye, with the sweetness upfront and well before the rye spices. Vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar with apples and black pepper are the main scents. The sugars coat the palate with minimal throat burn. The low 80 proof prevents this whiskey from having a significant finish, as the flavors fade quickly.

About this bottle
The foundation of this whisky is Crown Royal's distinctive batch-base spirit – corn distillate produced at a high proof in small batches and then matured in used barrels, contributing to its creamy texture. A consistent favorite across Canada, the Limited Edition is seldom found outside its country of origin. Visitors are encouraged to purchase a bottle if they have the opportunity.

The critical review accurately captures the nose and palate, but I don't detect the pepper spice finish suggested. This expression exhibits complexity far beyond the typical mildness of most Canadian whiskies. I acquired my bottle in Canada and will purchase another when I next travel to the great white north!
Incredibly smooth... very drinkable! Its only drawback is a lack of a memorable flavor profile.
Frankly, unimpressive. I actually find it inferior to standard Crown Royal. Very dull.
This is quite pleasant. It has a hot peppery quality, a hint of citrus. Intriguing.
A pleasant surprise! Nice legs and a slightly spicy flavor.
