Crown Royal XO Blended Canadian WhiskyCrown Royal XO furthers the signature blend from 50 of our finest whiskies, and then finishes them in cognac casks. Resulting in both an extraordinarily complex and smooth expression, Crown Royal XO is an elegant whisky that is deliciously balanced with hints of vanilla, spice, and rich dry fruit. Nose: Muted and mild, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and light oak. Finish: Medium length with light vanilla, subtle spice, and smooth finish.
