Crown Royal Noble Collection Barley Edition
Crown Royal Noble Collection Barley Edition is the finale of a landmark series — a 90-proof (45% ABV) Canadian whisky in a 750mL bottle, released in April 2023 as the seventh and final annual edition of the Noble Collection. Its distinction is the mashbill: 100% barley grains, aged at least five years at the Crown Royal Distillery in Gimli, Manitoba. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Last Chapter of the Noble Collection
Since 2017, the Noble Collection has been Crown Royal's annual experiment in pushing boundaries — wine-barrel finishes, blender's mash, winter wheat — each edition different, each limited. Barley Edition puts a bow on the series with something the brand had never done: a whisky distilled entirely from barley, malted and unmalted, and matured a minimum of five years. The result is robust and grain-forward — toasted oak, sweet caramel, creamy vanilla, and green apple — a fitting send-off for collectors who followed all seven releases.

Tasting Notes
Creamy vanilla and fruity green apple on the aroma, leading to spicy toasted oak and sweet caramel on the palate, with a warm, rounded finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks — at 90 proof with real grain character, it stands up beautifully either way.
