Crown Royal XO 750ML, Canada
This is no ordinary reserve quality whisky.
Crafted by the Crown Royal Master Blender, XO furthers the Crown Royal® signature blend from 50 of our finest whiskies, and then finishes them in cognac casks. Resulting in both an extraordinary complex and smooth expression, Crown Royal® XO is an elegant whisky that is deliciously balanced with hints of vanilla, spice and rich dry fruit.
This extraordinary blend is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks
The PR literature gives the impression that this could be the perfect follow up to Cask 16...
It's not!! It has a good nose, and starts off smooth, but the finish is astringent and burns. I've been told by some of my lady friends that it mixes well, but this is not a good CR for drinking neat
As a longtime Crown Royal drinker I thought Crown hit he mark with "Cask 16" when that was available. They have surpassed that with Crown XO. Get it while you can and here's hoping XO is around a little longer.
