We assessed Whisky Review: Crown Royal Blended Canadian Whisky at 40% ABV), aged three years in white oak.
Nose
The whisky is pale copper in color and has medium viscosity. The nose is crisp, sweet, and mellow. The aroma of cooked sugar underlies an even, appley tone.
Palate
This is a very sippable whisky, yet there isnt much to discover beneath the surface. Though its breeziness may make it easy and pleasing to drink, the returns diminish rapidly and leave only an extremely light, oversweet profile. This whisky is much better suited to cocktails than to drinking straight.
Finish
The mouthfeel is quite soft and forgiving. The whisky goes down faster than youd expect, if you let it. Flavors present include vanilla and cantaloupe, though these two are overpowered by a somewhat uninteresting fuji apple note throughout. Afterwards the finish leaves a delicate tingle, on the shorter side of medium length. Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by Whiskeyful or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it.

Verdict
Whisky Review: Crown Royal Blended Canadian Whisky is a modest offering that serves its purpose without distinction. Those seeking depth or complexity may wish to look elsewhere in this price bracket.
