CROWN ROYAL XO

Nose: heavy, dusky fruit, fresh ripe red apples, hints of barrel oak, Fall fruits, heavy and almost unctuous,

Palate: Syrupy, creamy smooth, fruity, sweet and grainy, feels like a hot licorice cough drop, hints of burnt toffee, hints of old leather chairs, candied citrus fruit peel, bitter almond skins, and hints of oak. Lots of sizzling gingery spice and white pepper. The heavy creamy weight defines it.

Finish: Long, tingling with lingering hints of almond skins and dried fruit.
