Well for my 30th bday i got a gift of Crown Royal XR! I'm a whiskey enthusiast so i was pretty stoked about getting this as a gift especially since Crown Royal isn't normally a whiskey conissuer's drink. I liked how my dad tried to jack my gift from me saying "this is too expensive to just drink...just leave it at my place."
First the box and bottle in the bag was really nice. I poured 2 glasses one neat (straight up)and one on the rocks. I took a nice pull on the neat and WOW! :thumbsup: this did not taste like Crown Royal...this tasted like very expensive Cognac. Then i took a pull of the one on the rocks and enjoyed that release of the wood barreling and complex flavors. I ended up drinking another glass.
Pros - Complex, clean, a bit fruity and woody...almost cognac like taste. Very smooth...intoxicating. Something you would open and pour for very special occasions unless your balling.
Cons - Expensive $200 is the usual price with tax...blended whiskies (but damn i think i might be more open to blended stuff.)
