    $180 in Ontario. Crown is acting like it's the last barrel from Waterloo.

      Yeah, I've got so many other scotches/bourbons to try between whatever-180$ before I put 180$ on Crown Royal...

    You want a good Canadian whisky you should try and get your hands on some Forty Creek. In my opinion one of the best whiskys in the world. Another choice of mine would be Alberta Premium, And get the dark horse for a real treat.

      Just tried forty creek and it would probably be my #1 bang for the buck. usually I don't like mixing whisky because the cost but Forty creek I am hesitant because of the taste.

    For some reason, my local liquor store was selling this bottle for only $60. I literally haven't seen a single other place in the U.S. selling it for less than $100. Some were selling it for as high as $180. They must've either made a mistake in the pricing or gotten a larger-than-expected shipment of it.

    I bought two of these, one to taste and one to keep sealed. It was very good but Crown Royal also came out with a Monarch 75th that I have trouble finding a difference between them as far as taste goes. If you can get a hold of a bottle of Crown Royal Monarch could you do a review on that one and compare it to the XR? Thank you again for all your great reviews

    • @NMBSUMMER
      @NMBSUMMER 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought the Monarch was ok but nothing special. The XR is good, so smooth. For another comparison I think the standard Crown tastes better than the Reserve

    Hello and thanks for your review. The abv is too low and the price is too high...I believe the packaging(box & bottle) are more expensive then the liquid. The Northern Harvest Rye is better value for the money! Also, Forty Creek!

    Costs $180 in Ontario which is a few bucks more than the 120 Euros. Nearly double the price of the second Most expensive Canadian whisky on the market, Wiser's Red Letter. I think it may even be the most expensive (bottled and sold within Canada) Canadian Whisky of all time along with Canadian Club 30 year old.

    • @robertfortier2136
      @robertfortier2136 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Correct, so it should be more like "enjoy the off brownish tinge of the bluish Detroit River and the pickeral and perch flavour of Lake Erie and it's zebra mussel invasion, in your lovely Crown Royal. Any off colour notes are compliments of the air that is fused with the oil refinery just a few miles away near Interstate 75 South as Detroit turns to Taylor Michigan."
