I'm enjoying some good old Crown Royal at the moment. Damn good, if I may say so.

Just tried another ... 60 % Black Bottle 40% Bowmore 17. Working like a charm![]()
Whisk(e)y - a bargain at any price !!!
I always liked CR. It has a particular balance and character, soft and subtle yet distinct. It inspires me when I do my bourbon blends.

If you are accustomed to cask-strength bourbon and Scotch you may well find all Canadian whisky underwhelming. That said, I find Crown Royal has a pleasant herbal/leafy aroma with some mild sweet bourbon notes, and oak. On the palate it is smooth and warming with butterscotch and hints of rye. That is from memory; I will give you some better notes when I'm not at work ;-).
Laphroiag 10 yr., ahhh the aroma
