Product description
Crown Royal Blended Whisky comes from Canada and is produced at the Crown Royal Distillery in Gimli, Manitoba, on the western shore of Lake Winnipeg. The distillery was founded in the late 1930s and is now one of the largest and most modern production facilities in the country. The harsh climate of the region - cold winters and warm summers - contributes significantly to the maturation of the whisky, as the temperature fluctuations intensify the exchange between the wood and the distillate. Crown Royal is a blend of around fifty different whiskies, each of which is produced at the distillery and then married together. The components mainly include Canadian rye, corn and malt whiskies, which are distilled on different stills - both in column stills and in pot stills. This variety of base distillates allows for a wide range of flavours, which are brought together during blending to create a harmonious overall picture. The individual whiskies are matured in different types of cask, mainly in American white oak casks. Both new, heavily burnt casks and used bourbon casks are used, occasionally supplemented by casks that previously contained sherry. This combination creates a complex spectrum of flavours. The taste of Crown Royal is soft, round and balanced. It combines sweet vanilla and caramel tones with a hint of grain, light spice and a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel, which makes it typically Canadian and particularly accessible. Crown Royal Blended Whisky is Canada's flagship when it comes to premium whisky. It was created in 1939 in honour of the visit of the British King George VI.

The Distillery: Crown Royal
When Icelandic immigrants settled at Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba in the 19th century, they were glad to have escaped from the volcanoes of their homeland. They called their settlement 'Gimli', which means 'safe haven from hellfire' in Icelandic. They surely would have never dreamt that a giant Whisky distillery would someday bear this name.

In diesem Sinne ist er sehr ok. Süffig und unkompliziert. -

Geschmack: wenig
Abgang: wenig
Kommentar: Zu riechen gibt es nicht viel, der erste Schluck erinnert dann tatsächlich ein klein wenig an Ahornsirup, warum auch immer und sei es nur die eigene Assoziation, weil ich ja nen Kanadier im Glas habe. Dieses bittersüße des Ahornsirups verfliegt aber schnell, danach bleibt es holzig-bitter, was ich an sich sehr mag, aber mehr ist da eben nicht. Für den Preis viel zu wenig, das erinnert dann eher an 10 Euro Supermarktwhiskies. Aber das lila Sackerl ist nett, das kommt zum Spielezubehör, ist da gut brauchbar. Nochmal kaufen? Nein sicher nicht.
