Crown Royal

Like Seagram's VO Gold, a delicate but wonderfully dextrous blend.
Crown Royal
Blended - Canada - 40.00%

A characterful and clean whisky, with a rich proportion of rye in the mashbill. Oak is well integrated. Would be pleasant with a pecan pie.
Crown Royal XR Extra Rare
Blended - Canada - 40.00%

That maple syrup taste works more like an additive than a natural aroma gained through maturation.
Wild Turkey 17 Years Old
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 50.50%

I like this very much, for its complexity and originality. As a bourbon? The useful phrase ‘something else' comes to mind.
Wild Turkey 8 Years Old, 101
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 50.50%
8
A huge whiskey. Put together with style and sophistication, but still with all the robustness of a true bourbon. A classic, of course. A Clint Eastwood of whiskeys.
Wild Turkey 80
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 40.00%
8
No fancy tricks here but a big, complex, regular bourbon.
Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 50.50%

My descriptors make it sound like a dessert whisky, but it is also very appetising. Just a tad too sophisticated for me.
Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 54.20%

This is more like a supercharged Wild One. Defiantly robust, but with Devilish charm. I love it.
Wild Turkey Rye
Rye - U.S.A. - 50.50%
8
The wildness of 101, tempered with the extra rye, makes for a very distinctive whiskey.
Wild Turkey Sherry Signature
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.00%

Bourbon and sherry? Is this allowed? I'm not sure it should be. I didn't order this, I ordered 101.
