A limited bottle from the one and only Crown Royal, the Chocolate Flavored Canadian Whisky is a must-grab if you love their usual range. It's a step in a different direction - they're mostly known for fruity bottles - but still polished and smooth like their usual offerings.
On the nose, the chocolate influence is immediate but layered. You get dark cocoa and bittersweet chocolate that arrive first - it is rich and slightly roasted, followed by milk chocolate cream and a whisper of mocha. Underneath those confectionary notes, you will find the blended whisky’s vanilla and caramel, and that's from the American oak maturation. You can also get a soft toffee sweetness and a faint cereal warmth that reminds you this is still whisky.
There is a pleasant mouth-coating texture, slightly syrupy but not cloying, that allows the chocolate to linger without overwhelming the spirit’s identity. The finish is medium-length, with a warm oak echo, a last note of dark chocolate, and a faint citrus peel that brightens the close. Serving neat is always the go-to, but this strives to make dessert-like cocktails extra excellent.
Calling all Crown Royal lovers! If you love them, best show them love by picking up a bottle. Who knows? They might just make this a regular instead of just a limited release.
