A couple of years ago we were over in Canada and I thought I would pick up some of their whisky (no e) to try. I must admit that is has been at the back of the shelf as I had other bottles to work through. It finally made it now.
I was surprised that this Crown Royal came in a fancy bag within the box. It is a a blended whisky that was created to mark a visit by the British royals in 1939. I have to say that it was not especially expensive. I bought it in the duty free airport shop.
It is a fancy bottle, but with a screw top instead of a stopper.
I found it fairly smooth to drink, but I added a little water anyway. I am not too good on describing tastes, but I quite like it. I generally drink Scotch, so this makes a change.
I was reminded of an old sing by Muse where that starts with the lines 'Royal Canadian blended, The spicy aroma had mended me. Matured for years and imported. Into my glass you poured it". The song is about alcohol issues.
