A medium bodied whisky, with enough mouthfeel to be enjoyed on its own but also light enough for mixing. On the palate, a slight sherried sweetness is in evidence, with vanilla, caramel, brown sugar and a nice oakiness to round out the flavor profile before a hint of rye # passes over the palate. If you enjoy a smooth, sipping whisky with just the right amount of bite, Crown Royal delivers. Crown is an elegant Canadian whisky and it’s readily apparent why Crown drinkers are such a devoted group.Remember the time of Prohibition (1919-1933)? That’s when contraband and illegal whiskey “flowed” in great quantities from Canada across the Detroit River into the U.S. Characters like Al Capone (1899-1947) became very rich in the process. Actually, some folks claim that there are still wagon loads of Canadian whiskey at the bottom of the river. Regrettably, I never encountered such while taking water and sediment samples there a few decades ago. Whatever may be true, a new era of whiskey war may be in the offing. Can a new (in-reverse-type) whiskey smuggling ring be far behind?
