Vanilla, Done the Crown Royal Way
Crown Royal was created in 1939 to honor the visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to Canada, and its signature blend — around fifty Canadian whiskies married by the master blenders — is the foundation of the whole range. The Vanilla expression infuses that blend with natural Madagascar Bourbon vanilla, part of Crown Royal's Flavor Series alongside Apple, Blackberry and Salted Caramel. The result is less a cocktail ingredient and more a dessert pour: viscous, warming and unmistakably vanilla. Among Canadian whiskies, it is the sweet-tooth pick — and the Crown Royal collection carries the rest of the range, from the original Deluxe to the cognac-finished XO.
Tasting Notes
Rich vanilla bean on the nose with delicate hints of oak. The palate is viscous and warming with crème brûlée notes. The finish is creamy vanilla with a smooth, light whisky close.
How to Enjoy
Over ice for the full dessert-whisky effect, or in a Vanilla Old Fashioned with a dash of bitters. It also elevates White Russian riffs, coffee drinks and anything involving chocolate or bread pudding.
