Graham cracker, orange peel, nutmeg, pepper, cranberry.
Light mouthfeel. The flavor profile is fairly grainy with honey, leather and char. It’s pleasant!
The finish is medium in length and savory with some complexity. A touch of barbecue smoke, brown sugar, ash and a pop of citrus.
Pleasant, light, inoffensive sipper. Doesn’t deliver a crazy amount of complexity, but it’s a solid light bottle that's very easy to sip — and while it doesn't distinguish itself from other mid-shelf single malts, maybe there's nothing wrong with that. Honestly, it's probably well-suited for Crown Royal's target demographic.
