Crown Royal Rye
Northern Harvest. Whisky of the year. Hmmm.
Tried it tonight. $25 a bottle. Yeah, that works. Canadian taste. Polished. Nice finish. Great deal. Will be part of the stocking up at the tax sale. I will have a case on the shelf. |

One of the people at our whisky tasting last night mentioned that she had tried (and liked) the Crown Royal Northern Harvest... Apparently very smooth (pretty much a Canadian whisky trait, with rare exceptions) and with quite a unique flavour profile (no doubt owing to the high rye content).

I agree. Not a lot of complexity, but enjoyable and smooth. at $30 for the 750ml bottle, it's worth it. If I can find it for 25, I'm in for a couple.

I have only tried a few rye's and they were rough, so hearing you guys describe this as smooth intrigues me.

Hell. You think Canada Dry Club Soda is rough.

Still not 100% sure concerning the finish (although it's certainly clean), which could be longer. That said, my first bottle is 'history' now. And at the whisky's price point, a replacement bottle is definitely in the picture.
