Description

A Rare Gem

The Crown Royal Noble Collection 13 Year Old Blenders’ Mash is a standout expression within Crown Royal’s prestigious Noble Collection. This Canadian whisky transcends the brand’s usual offerings, boasting a remarkable 13 years of aging, a unique mash bill, and exceptional smoothness.

Bourbon-Inspired Mash Bill

Unlike most Canadian whiskies that are rye-heavy, the Blenders’ Mash takes inspiration from American bourbon. Its mash bill is 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley. This unique combination contributes to a richer and more complex flavor profile compared to typical Canadian whiskies.

Nuanced by New Oak

The whisky matures for no less than 13 years in new, charred American white oak barrels. This extended aging period allows the spirit to develop deep character, while the new oak imparts notes of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of spice. The charring adds a subtle smokiness that complements the overall complexity.

Aromatic & Flavorful

On the nose, expect a delightful interplay of aromas. Orchard fruits like apples and pears mingle with rich notes of butterscotch and a hint of toasted oak. The first sip delivers a burst of smooth, creamy vanilla and toffee flavors, accented by hints of caramel and baking spices. The rye influence peeks through with a gentle peppery warmth, creating a delightful balance.

Lingering Finish

The Crown Royal Noble Collection 13 Year Old Blenders’ Mash boasts a remarkably smooth and satisfying finish. The lingering oak character complements the sweetness of caramel, leaving a pleasant warmth on the palate. This is a whisky best enjoyed neat in a tumbler to fully appreciate its intricate flavor profile. A touch of iced water can help open up the aromas further, but be sure to add it sparingly to avoid diluting the experience.
