Intro:
This is a pretty old bottle of Crown Royal blended whiskey.
-
Nose:
Very sticky sweet. Caramel, honey, melon, brown sugar. Almost like smelling cinnabon in the mall.
-
Taste:
Thin but no heat. Sweet and rich caramel. Some faint melon. Clove, maple syrup and brown sugar.
-
Finish:
Medium, like syrupy molasses.
-
Overall:
This is really interesting - it's super sweet as far as most whiskeys go but still very reminiscent of modern Crown. I like this much better, but the resemblance is there. At the end of the day, this isn't a fantastic bottle, but it was really fun to drink through and share some with friends and acquaintances to see their reactions also.
