WATCH: Spirits Critic Reviews Crown Royal Blackberry Flavored Whisky

Crown Royal Blackberry

Crown Royal Blackberry is here, and people are freaking out.

In February, a blackberry-flavored edition of Crown Royal Canadian whisky quietly began appearing at select retailers without any sort of announcement from the brand. From that point until the official announcement from Crown Royal in March and beyond, fans of the brand have been trying to track down the new flavor of Crown.

Many folks on TikTok who managed to get their hands on a bottle shared their thoughts, some crowning (no pun intended) it “The Drink of Summer 2024” and many others trying out cocktail recipes built around the blackberry-flavored whisky.

Of course, we had to taste the new flavored whisky that has social media so abuzz. Bottle Raiders Chief Spirits Critic Jay West, better known as t8ke, isn’t typically much of a flavored whisky fan, but he’s still tried more than his fair share. Jay took to YouTube to crack open the bottle and break down what it tastes like. Is it really the drink of summer 2024? Does it suck? Check out the video below to find out.
