Review of Crown Royal Cask #16?

[rasin77]

Is crown a whiskey?? I would choose that 40 of oe above crown any day :P

[ofishstix]

the only whiskies i've drank are:
crown, crown special reserve, crown xr, glenlivet, glenfiddich, and every kind of JW.

i like it more than most of the whiskies ive had except for JWB, XR, and glenlivet. it's a bit tricky to describe what it reminds me of, but it tastes kind of of like crown special reserve, but a little smoother and a little sweeter. unlike the other higher end whiskies i've had, it doesn't really taste as pure. the flavor definitely seems more complex. its a nice change of pace, though if prefer the others the majority of the time.

overall, it's worth the $82 i paid but i don't know if i wouldve been as content had i paid the msrp of 110 or so.

sorry i couldnt me more specific wookie, but if you have any questions ill try my best.

How much do the Crown XR and Crown Special Reserve run you? Also, I presume JWB means blue and not black, no?

I could tell you a little about the CR Cask No.16 since I work for Diageo at the plant where Crown Royal, Crown Royal Special Reserve, Crown Royal XR, and Crown Royal Cask No.16 are made. Cask no.16 is the newest product that just went into production in mid September. You should be seeing the 1 liter and 375mL bottles on the shelves any time now. Although I've never tried the XR or Cask no.16, they are apparently very good whiskeys. The XR has a slight vanilla taste to it, and is very smooth. The cask no.16 is also supposed to be very smooth. The Cask no.16 is finished in white oak cognac barrels from France which gives it a slight hint of a dried fruit flavor. DO NOT MIX THESE WHISKEY'S WITH ANYTHING!!! Mixing with rootbeer, cola, or juice just takes away from the way these expensive whiskey's are meant to be drank. Just serve straight at room temperature or on the rocks. As mentioned in an earlier post, regular Crown Royal has a sweet taste because it's blended with caramel.

CHEERS!!!

Hmmm, I may have just picked out my father's Christmas present.

Take a look at this Crown Royal which is made only for the Queen of England.

Yah, JWB=blue.
XR I've seen for anywhere between 120 and 150.
16 is around 110 or so.
