This limited-edition whisky is the culmination of the long-standing Noble Collection and promises to provide a truly unique and unforgettable experience for whisky enthusiasts. Definitely worth a try.Crown Royal Completes Long-Standing Noble Collection with Release of Barley Edition WhiskyĬrown Royal, a world-renowned whiskey brand, has added another jewel to its crown with the release of the latest addition to their Noble Collection, the Barley Edition whisky. This whisky was tasty on its own, and at $30/bottle, is a great value. I really like the balance of sweet and herbal notes. G-LO: I was pleasantly surprised by the Northern Harvest Rye.Smooth out the balance and this will become a great buy. I had a small issue with the balance, but given it’s reasonable price, I think this is a good buy. That being said, I found this to have just enough rye without becoming just a one note whisky. Limpd: I’m not a big fan of rye whisky.At the finish, some astringency comes through with those herbal notes lingering in the aftertaste. Mellows a bit at the middle with that spiced apple coming through. Light brown sugar and cinnamon at the start. While the spicy herbal notes are there, the sweetness is quite prominent. G-LO: Quite different from the other rye whiskies that we’ve been drinking.Some vanilla and heat comes through with a relatively mild finish. Lots of rye sharpness up front (duh!) followed by a little bit of sugar which isn’t overly syrupy. The balance seems a bit off (not bad, just off). It’s spicy, then sweet, then spicy again. G-LO: Sweet and herbally with some light brown sugar, allspice, baked apple, cinnamon, and wintergreen.Some syrupy sugar and a whole lot of rye spice. Limpd: Not much in the way of alcohol vapors.The extra time the grains take to fully mature results in flavorful hints of fruit, cloves and spice. This is due to the fact the grains are planted in the fall, then blanketed with snow during the harsh winter months and only finish their growth cycle once they have sprouted throughout spring and summer. The distinct Canadian climate provides the ideal conditions for growing rye grains. “There is also a tremendous growth opportunity within the rye category as consumers gravitate toward quality products they know and trust while experimenting with pre-Prohibition era cocktails.” “With rye whiskies serving as integral components of the Crown Royal Deluxe blend for more than 75 years, it was a natural and authentic extension to provide our loyal fans a rye offering,” said Yvonne Briese, Vice President of Marketing, Diageo North American Whiskey. This offering combines the richness of Northern harvest rye grains with the unmistakable smoothness of Crown Royal to create a perfectly balanced whisky. Here’s what they have to say about it:Īs a brand deep rooted in heritage and quality, Crown Royal is proud to introduce its first-ever blended rye whisky, Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye. Speaking of new…Ĭrown Royal has just released a new rye whisky and they call it Northern Harvest Rye. We have a tough time understanding that mentality since we’re always on the lookout for something new. “I’m a Johnnie Walker Black (or Dewars, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam) guy” is what they’ll say. While variety is the spice of our lives, there are others that need a bit more convincing when it comes time to try something new. What matters to us is what’s in the glass and how it tastes. We’re not married to any brand or style, and will try just about anything. Let me rephrase…Īll of this whisky geekery is important and plays a very important role with regards to the finished product, but none of it matters to us when it comes time to have a drink. Barrel management and storage conditions are also irrelevant. We don’t care about mash bill, country of origin, or how old it is. As you’re well aware, we like a wide variety of whisky in Booze Dancing country.
