Crown Royal's Northern Harvest Rye is NOT standard Crown Royal fare. Northern Harvest Rye is leaps and bounds above any other Crown Royal product I’ve tasted.

Aromas of toasted nuts, pepper, burnt sugar, cloves and cinnamon waft up from the glass. It’s nice, complex, and a touch sweet.

The flavor mirrors the scent, but the pepper notes are dialed back. It’s a soft and smooth rye, not harsh, peppery nor astringent like some can be. A touch of biscuit (think cream cracker) is present in the flavors and it brings to mind a fine bourbon.

The finish is long, warm, and sweet. I’m pleased and surprised.

But unlike Jim Murray, I cannot say this is the best whiskey I’ve had all year. I’m not even sure it’s the best new offering I’ve had all year. Still: it's fantastic.
