Crown Royal Golden Apple Whisky 23 Year Old

Crown Royal Golden Apple Whisky 23 Year Old is the most age-forward flavored expression Crown Royal has produced — a blend of whiskies aged a minimum of 23 years, infused with the crisp and sweet flavor of Golden Delicious Apples, presented in a gold bottle and green and gold patterned bag that reflects the unique combination of extensive age and apple character that makes this one of the most unusual releases in Canadian whisky.

23 years of barrel aging is exceptional in any whisky category — at that age, the oak integration, dried fruit development, and caramel depth of the component whiskeys significantly exceed what any younger flavored expression carries. The Golden Delicious apple character sits on top of that aged foundation, adding a bright, crisp sweetness that contrasts with and complements the depth below it. The result is a rare combination: the complexity of long-aged Canadian whisky with the accessibility of a fruit-forward flavored expression.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Sweet apple aroma with vanilla, oak, and the depth of 23-year barrel aging beneath
