I was raised on Scotch because that is what was in my daddy's liquor cabinet when I discretely borrowed a little here and there as a kid. But I definitely have grown fond of Crown Royal over the years. I'm not sure how they do it, but the flavor is terrific and very little bite. Crown over the rocks, short glass with a splash of H20 is hard to beat. Does anyone else like a good blended whiskey? Recommendations? This is from the Crown Royal website.
Five different recipes (mash bills) and twelve distillation columns produce the individual whiskies that comprise our blends, which are then aged for varying periods of time in either new or re-use charred oak barrels. Our maturing barrels experience extreme temperature swings, the wood’s expansion and contraction slowly adding to the developing character. Once the whiskies have been aged to our blenders’ satisfaction, they are meticulously blended to create the signature rich, smooth, award-winning flavor of Crown Royal.
