I always come back to Crown. No matter how far down the whiskey trail I venture. It really is like the old friend. You know you’re gonna have a good time and it’s easy to chill with. Price ain’t bad either at least here in Northern California at $21 for a 750ml.

And like 90% of us Canadians DO drink this on the rocks. If there is something we have plenty of its ICE.

I know Crown Royal mixes well from my bartending experience but when I'm alone, I prefer it neat. I battled it against all of my favorite whiskeys and it came out tasting better and being more rewarding than the competition.

Crown is a smooth drink point blank, I like it a lot more than some higher end whiskeys that I was told would blow me away!

Fr what is that dumb shi

Crown Royal was the first Whiskey I ever tried (underaged at that). Now that I'm legally able to drink in my Province, Crown is my go to. I typically drink it watered down a tad though, over some ice. Yeah, it may dim the flavour, but that's how I like it.

This is the only one I can drink straight on the rocks. Love it.

Lowkey hurt to see a 5.8 out of 10.. I love crown royal. It’s my favorite drink and even the design of the bottle bag and package is amazing to me hurting lol 😂

In the end its just another persons opinion.

I've drunk the best whiskies in the world and this is just completely unique to me. So I'll be blasphemous and say I like it. However, it's totally different than we whiskey drinkers are used to. Smooth, vanilla and just overall pleasant. No apologies, very well done.. but... ah.. there is the but.... Not the flavor beast bursting with flavor the single malt gents are looking for... but for me... on "some" days, I just want something simple and delicious.... this fits the bill

There's nothing mind blowing here, but it's a pleasant smooth swallow. I love the bottle though... gorgeous

fair to generous rating. I drink Crown straight, kept in the freezer - I think that's the only way to drink it. A fine fairly affordable liquor.

Crown Royal Black is the way to go with mixed drinks

I've drunk Canadian Crown Royal in Canada with people who live there and we also had 2 other kinds of mineral spirits to celebrate with on a cold night in Victoria. It might not be the best Whisky, but it become one that I kept coming back to because I guess I enjoy the vanilla/maple blended characteristics more than some straight Kentucky bourbons. I've compared it to Irish Tullamore Dew, Jack Daniels, Johnny Walker Black Label, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, Jim Bean, Kentucky Jack, Wild Turkey and probably a dozen more at a similar price range. I've consumed a ton of vodka, whiskey and cognac as they're my personal favorites.

Appreciate your honesty my son in law loves this I love my son in law so I’m down with it

I’m not ashamed to admit this but out of the only three drinks I ever drunk (patron) (crown royal) (captain Morgan) I definitely come back to the crown my dawg💪

I like Crown. It’s not a high end whiskey by any means but it tastes good and goes down smooth. Really that’s why I think when people are rating whiskey there should be two ratings. One overall against everything of its kind and another based against everything in its price range. For the price you pay there’s not a lot out there that’s better.

great score for what CR is and its price. always good to have good budget priced whiskeys that get the job done.

It's my favorite whisky for a Hot Toddy.

Love the gloves! Im Canadian..its a hard 7!

Crown shots with Pepsi back is always a good time. Good stuff sorry not sorry

This whiskey is nothing else than the definition of smoooooooth !! and that's All Good for me !

I love crown with a splash of distilled water

Its my number one go to Scotch. I always have a bottle in the house. You guys have your, shall I say, professional opinions and I have mine. I dont drink anything neat, I am an ICE man. I grab a fist sized tumbler and then fill the glass with those small little half inch square ice cubes. Open the Bottle and pour man, till its full. After the first couple sips, my pallete is conditioned and the rest is Liquid Gold Baby. Oh, and I like the little bit of ethanol coming up the throat and out my nasal. You guys hit it pretty much on the spot.

Your go to Scotch is not a Scotch, not by any reasonable definition of Scotch. It's not made in Scotland, not made from the required grain, not made with the required methods.

I’m Canadian. This is my dad’s favourite whiskey. Taste like battery acid to me like pretty much every other whiskey.

It goes good with Ginger Ale as a mixed drink too. Call it Royal Ale other than that the best affordable whiskey around.

First time I had Crown it was mixed with a local cream soda and my gosh was it good.

Northern Harvest Rye is 45% ABV which barely redeems it. However I would agree that it is better than anything Johnnie Walker I have tried. But still not exceptional.

Crown is ol faithful

Canadian here, score is reasonable. This is my go to with diet coke but definitely better options for drinking neat. The Northern Harvest or the Noble Collection are solid. Another solid review.

Welcome to the channel Kelly. We will review the Northern Harvest for sure and add it to the list. Thanks for the comment.

I was wondering, by Irish/Scottish standards could Crown Royal be considered a single grain whiskey? I know it’s marketed as a blended whiskey, but because all of the whiskeys in the blend come from one distillery could it still be technically considered a single grain?

@CraftWhiskeyBoys

4 жыл бұрын

Correct! Crown royal is made from various cereal grains all produced in one distillery, therefore could technically be classed as single grain - Sol

From a Canadian....3/10. I have had fantastic drams from Ireland, Scotland, Japan and the US but my own country has trouble making something fantastic at an affordable price. Part of it is our lax laws on what defines a whisky (I.e. you can make a rye with only 10% rye in it) and part of it is who the hell knows.....now where is that Four Roses SB or Redbreast 12 or Nikka From the Barrel.......or Highland Park 12?

Haven’t had this in a very long time. But I do remember tons of vanilla. I’ll take a Jameson too. The rye is pretty good. I don’t mind sipping that one but not no best in the world as others have disagreed with a certain person lol. Cheers

"If there are any Canadians watching who are pissed off" haha 😅

Maybe some guys will laugh at this: Today is my first time drinking a fine luxe Blended Canadian Whisky ever /10.16.2021/ Crown Royal is a great blend of Vanilla and Oak.

I’m getting a bottle

Crown Royal is great at a bar over ice and not think about it for $3. Its fine nothing great but nothing bad either. Their more expensive versions especially the noble noble collection and hand bottled select are great. Cheers. I think 6 is the right score.

Funny you say it would be good on ice because that's how I like my Crown. However, out of the freezer can also be tasty. And when you said it wasn't really an ideal sipping whiskey I had to chuckle. I've never been able to sip my Crown. After all, you don't want to dilute it too much with melted ice.

9/10

Crown helps you not freeze when you crash in a snow bank on the stumble home ...eh

drinking CR as I watch this,I prefer the notes in Jameson,but CR at least here is about $10 cheaper by the bottle..so CR it is lol.

Completely agree, and I think you'd be surprised by the average Canadian's view of their "staple" offerings. Like any Canadian, I love hockey but know the Leafs suck, I love coffee but know Tim's is made from dishwater, and I love whiskey but know Crown Royal is pretty basic.

so good even my wife likes it

In Canada it's priced just a touch above entry level, sounds about right. I don't know anyone who really drinks it neat. And no, not vanilla coke, just coke for a mixer.

how much crown royal whisky

Us Kanucks LOVE your comments: this is the ONLY WAY the industry would improve ... No apology needed, all welcome in fact !

I found it excellent, yet fairly bland.

Black toooooooth!

Time is going so fast not much time for sipping whiskey when you have to work two jobs to make ends meet 😃

🤯🙂🥃

I say it like " Crown Royaaawlll"

I actually love it on ice,and I also put a few drops of pure vanilla extract in it as well..I love love love the vanilla flavor.

My bro likes he's Crown royal he likes it with just ice.

Im Canadian and i have to say i actually prefer jack daniels over crown call me crazy i guess

I get that you guys are high-end whiskey guys, so it's great that you even tried CR on your channel. But CR isn't meant for the high-end connoisseur, it's for the masses. For your average Canadian, you'll have 2 bottles of whiskey at home. Maybe 3. You'll have Canadian Club (CC) which you'll mix with Canada Dry ginger ale, and that will be your go-to. On special occasions, you'll get out the CR and have that on the rocks. You may keep some JD around in case your American friends or family come over, or if your daughter brings home a loser boyfriend and you don't want to waste the good stuff on him. Was on a luxury cruise in fall 2022, and the ONLY rye they had was CC, so CR. Although I did find a specialty bar that had some premium rye, no CR. On previous cruises, CR was available as a mid-level option, but no top-shelf ryes available. The point I'm making is that CR is the special occasion Canadian Whiskey for normal people,, including big luxury cruise ships.

I just opened mine. Also a gift. I'd have to agree. It's easy to drink but, it's almost watery. No power, no complexity. I gues for a hot toddy as people suggest it's great. But even for me as a beginner it's nothing special. It has no negatives notes or aromas, it's just... boring. It's stuff I'd put in cookies, some cocktails or a hot toddy.. Into a hot milk... stuff like that.
