Crown Royal Black Blended Canadian Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: The whiskey is certainly smokey and robust upon inhalation and certainly sticks around for the long haul.

Palate: Vanilla and bourbon-like qualities are abound and the palate is still full and soft like the classic bottling.

Finish: After the sweet middle, however, it finishes spicy and dry.
