Crown Royal Noble Collection Winter Wheat

The Crown Royal Winter Wheat arrived so very well packed and double protected with air-cushion plastic wrap in a sea of styrofoam peanuts in a much bigger box than expected, well done The Bourbon Central! The bold royal purple metal cannister and very nice decanter-quality bottle add that extra touch leading up to an exquisite sipping whiskey. No wonder this was awarded Canadian Whiskey of the Year 2022, its a "top shelf" whiskey leading with that 51% wheat in the mash bill, rounded out with corn and some malted barley. I do enjoy typical "wheated" whisky like Maker's Mark, Larceny, and Weller, albeit their mash bills only use ~1/3rd-1/4th of what Crown Royal uses here. So not too surprizing that I found this whiskey not only to my liking, but a good step above and sure to keep me coming back for more.
