Cognac cask finish. Cask No. 16. Handcrafted and finished in Cognac oak casks. Crown Royal and cognac are often referred to as Noble Spirits due to their great history and craftsmanship. For the first time, our master blender brings together these two great traditions by finishing our fine Canadian whisky in rare cognac casks from the Limousin forest in France, distinctly marked 16 to represent their place of origin. Crown Royal's master blender begins with our unique blend of over 50 different individually aged whiskies. Exceptional in character and taste, this special blend is placed in the casks, which impart subtle hints of rich dried fruit and create the balanced yet complex taste of Crown Royal Cask No. 16. - Andrew MacKay, Master Whisky Blender. 40% Alc/Vol. 80 Proof. Product of Canada.
