On the nose, this whisky truly smells like fall. Baking spices, rich subtle notes of orchard fruits, and lovely notes from American oak barrels are rounded out by a subtle touch of vanilla. The spice of Canadian rye grain truly shines through on the palate accompanied by the orchard fruit and toasted oak experienced on the nose. It is rich and robust yet balanced and a bit sweet.

"Crown Royal 29 Year Old showcases our signature rye mash bill and represents the robust history of our Gimli distillery," said Stephen Wilson, Director of Whisky Engagement for Crown Royal. "Its exceptional flavor profile invites a new generation of whisky connoisseurs and drinkers to experience an elevated level of luxury as they celebrate milestone moments with Crown Royal."

Crown Royal 29 Year Old represents the diverse and inclusive whisky drinker who embodies modern luxury. They are rewriting the rules of what success means and how to get there while creating a rich legacy for those that will come after them.

"We're thrilled to release Crown Royal 29 Year Old, our oldest aged expression to-date," said Nicola Heckles, VP, Crown Royal. "Our collector's line of aged whiskey is growing, and this new addition to our diverse portfolio brings a refreshed take on modern luxury that meets the needs of the new generation of Whisky drinkers."
