Crown Royal Reserve Aged 12 Years is a blended Canadian whisky patiently aged twelve years, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a generous 1.75-litre bottle.
It is the first age-stated Reserve expression from Crown Royal, crafted from select whiskies aged a minimum of twelve years in charred American white oak, made with patience, perseverance and the knowledge that incredible things come to those who put in the time.
Aromas of vanilla and light baking spices invite you in, followed by orchard fruit, white chocolate, rye spice and toasted oak. Mild heat enters the palate with notes of apple, and the finish lingers with cinnamon spice.
In its large-format bottle, it is a generous gift and a great choice for gatherings.
Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks.
Canadian whisky is traditionally made by distilling and aging each grain separately, typically corn, rye and barley, and then blending the mature whiskies, which gives the blender precise control over the final character. Crown Royal is the best-known name in the category.
Twelve years in charred oak through cold Canadian winters and warm summers gives the Reserve more depth and fruit than younger blends, while keeping the smooth, easy character Crown Royal is known for.
The 1.75-litre bottle is ideal for parties and gatherings, or simply for anyone who knows they will keep coming back to it.
Enjoy it neat to taste the fruit and white chocolate, or over ice for a mellower, cooler pour.
