Crown Royal Cask No 16: Review



Finished in Cognac Oak Cask
Blended Canadian Whisky
40% abv/80 proof

Appearance: looks clear … oh, my glass is empty already.  Rich crystal amber


Aroma: delicate yet rich with brown sugar, fruit, nice sweet oak spice coming from the cognac cask aging,

Flavors: similar to the nose; mild and rich sweet cognac, stone fruit, nice sweet oak coming from the cognac cask aging,

Mouthfeel: smooth with light warmth

To the Point: a nice whisky, I like it better that the regular Crown.  The regular Crown is boring to me.  The Cask No. 16 has an interesting flavor profile for Crown Royal. 


I paired this with a Romeo y Julieta Casino II Reserva Real Cigar.  The cigar has a mellow buttery mouthfeel with fresh white bread and white mushroom like notes.  The pairing was nice and mellow.
