Crown Royal Hand Selected Barrel 750 ml

Retailers, not blenders, pick what fills Crown Royal Hand Selected Barrel — a single-barrel Canadian whisky drawn from the Coffey still at Gimli, Manitoba, chosen at peak maturity and bottled at a set 103 proof. Each barrel stands alone, so expect small shifts from bottle to bottle around the program's core profile: creamy vanilla and ripe banana over toasted new oak, rye spice building midway, and a warm, drying close. The step up from the standard 80-proof blend is considerable, yet the trademark smoothness survives the extra strength. At 51.5% it holds up to a big cube without thinning. Pour it for the loyalist who has worn out the purple bag and is ready for the single-barrel version, neat or in an Old Fashioned.

How to drink Crown Royal Hand Selected Barrel

Pour it neat to taste the full 103 proof, or build it into an Old Fashioned if you want the rye spice and toasted oak to carry through a cocktail. At 51.5% it holds up to a big cube without thinning out.
