Crown Royal Mini

Crown Royal Mini is a canadian whisky .

Canadian whisky is almost always a blended variety and must of course be produced in Canada. All whiskies are distilled at just one distillery, so in a sense you could call it a single malt.

However, Canadian whisky is generally a blend of two spirits. It is similar to blended whiskies where a more neutral grain whisky is blended with malt whisky.

A neutral whisky is distilled to 95% alcohol and is called the 'base whisky'. This portion has an elegant flavour and can almost be thought of as vodka. The second whisky is called 'flavouring whisky'. This is distilled to a lower alcohol content and is packed with flavour. Both types of whisky mature separately in used and/or new oak barrels.

Canadian whisky is often confused with rye whisky, as rye is the most common grain in the mix of grains for flavouring whisky. Wheat, corn and malted barley are also used.

A few more important facts:

• Canadian whisky can contain a variety of ingredients, from caramel to sherry.
• There are also a few small single malts produced in Canada and, of course, a 'craft-movement' has emerged, characterised by exaggerated facial hair and crafted whisky.

Yes, Crown Royal Mini is a no age statement (NAS) whisky. But what exactly does that mean?

According to the rules, when an age is stated on the bottle, it must always be the youngest whisky in the blend and not the age that is the most represented percentage-wise in the blend. A producer will therefore consciously choose not to state an age on his bottle in two cases: when an old whisky is blended with a small proportion of younger whisky, or when young whisky is blended with a proportion of older whisky. In the first case, he does not want to put a young age on his bottle if his blend contains mainly older whisky, and in the second case, from a marketing point of view it is more interesting to go out with that particle of older whisky.

No, Crown Royal Mini is not a single cask whisky.

No, Crown Royal Mini is not whisky at cask strength.

Although this Crown Royal Mini is not or does not have explicit gift packaging, it can certainly make an excellent gift. Gift packs are usually taken as a safe choice of gift because brands often combine the most accessible or their most popular whisky combine with a fun accessory in a nice gift pack. But if you are looking for a gift for an experienced whisky-drinker they may not be waiting for yet another glass and then this one Crown Royal Mini might even be a better choice than such a gift pack.

This Crown Royal Mini can be a whisky that suits you if you like a whisky with a fruity character. Indeed, this fruitiness is quite emphatic in the flavour profile.

However, we recommend that you also look at the rest of the flavour profile, as it is of course only one part of the overall character of this whisky.

No, there is no peat in the flavour profile in this Crown Royal Mini whisky . The absence of any smokiness therefore makes it suitable for those who do not like a peat flavour.

No, in the flavour profile of this Crown Royal Mini whisky there is very little to no significant spiciness at all.

Yes, Crown Royal Mini is a whisky with a moderately fruity flavour profile: the fruitiness of this whisky will be discernible right from the first sip from your glass.

• Whiskies with a fruity character can range from light and fresh apple notes to deep, ripe stone fruit and exotic aromas. This fruitiness can come from the grains, yeast and fermentation used, the shape of the pot stills and the cask type.
• Rum made from sugar cane or molasses lends itself ideally to fruity notes. From the fresh citrus aromas of a white rum to the deep pineapple and banana notes of an aged variety - fruitiness is an essential characteristic in many rums. Again, the same factors affect fruitiness as with whisky.

Whether you drink this Crown Royal Mini whisky best with or without ice is a personal choice. We have always chosen not to take a stance on adding water or ice to whisky. There are certainly good reasons to add a little water to your whisky, but whether it adds value to you or detracts from your enjoyment is something you should mainly discover for yourself.

No, Crown Royal Mini is an official bottling of Crown Royal.

To make an Irish Coffee according to the rules of the art, you need an Irish whiskey. Since you are going to mix it with coffee and whipped cream, we recommend using a good, but not overpriced whiskey. This Crown Royal Mini is a whiskey, but because this whiskey comes from Canada it is not the best choice to make a "real" Irish Coffee.

Did you know that the first Irish Coffee was invented in 1942 by bartender Joe Sheridan? He was working at the airport in Foynes, in the west of Ireland. The barman saw some tired passengers and figured they needed coffee with something special. To perk them up, he poured them coffee with a dash of whiskey mixed in and some coffee on top. When asked if it was Brazilian coffee, Sheridon replied, "No, my friend, this is Irish Coffee." And so it was.

According to the data currently available to us, we cannot state with certainty that this product is vegan and this claim is not explicitly made by the brand.
