I like my Bourbon bit sometimes I like to change it up. Crown Royal is a good line of Whiskey, I like their rye bit it needs to breath some before you drink it. The regular and black is very nice but the XO is exquisite!

CR probably got America through the '60s and "70s. It used to be very popular.
|
|
They have great marketing. I like Crown but, to me, it's not as good as it is popular.
|
|
I don't really care for it, either by itself or in a mixed drink.
|
|
Last night, and likely tonight, it'll be Captain Morgans and cokes for me. Need a break from the beer and Woodford reserve.

Crown and Coke is usually what I drink. Has neen for years
![]() Crown amd Sprite gave me a headache this morning ![]() |
|
That’s because bourbon tastes like burnt assholes.
Canadian whiskey is delicious. |
|
The Navy base I drill at goes through SO MUCH crown, they get an even better volume deal that other military exchanges, $39 a handle.

Meh, gives me a headache. Comparing it to Bourbon is like comparing a Timex to a Rolex.
Both tell time and end in "ex", but that is about where any comparison ends. |
|
The only one I like is the CR Maple Finished. Now that actually tastes smooth and a little thicker, compared to all the other Crown Royal whisky blends, that have a watery consistency. I don't drink very much, just a little bit if I catch a cold or core throat. I have a 750 mL bottle that I bought about 11 years ago. There is still about 1/3 of the bottle left. That should last me another 5 years.

Crown royal black is close to bourbon. Its finished in bourbon barrels. Nice stuff.
|
|
Ehh. If I'm not drinking bourbon I'll have some Irish whiskey or scotch. Kinda meh on Canadian.
|

Crown is a Giffen whiskey. The poorer you are, the more you're likely to buy it.
I mean, I get it. I've been poor and drank cheap whiskey. But, if you want bourbon and you're drinking Crown, you're either poor or confused. |
|
Drank it a lot when I was underage. Not terrible by any means but I'd rather have Four Roses.
|
|
|
|
I'm Canadian and I don't touch CR.
Give me Eagle Rare or Blanton's |
|
Too sweet for me.
And now there’s the stupid Crown Royal Bourbon Mash. No. Just no. You are not a bourbon. Bourbons are 100% American. But hey, they have a bitchin’ tent at the HSLR Cook Off, so I can’t complain too much. ![]() |

Have any of you tried the XO? Wooh! Talk about smooth.... I drink my spirits straight of over an ice cube. Nothing gets between me and the true taste of the liquor that way. |

Crown Royal isn't a good replacement for anything except maybe Boone's Farm and Thunderbird.

I got a bottle of Crown XR as a wedding gift, back in 2015.
My wife and I have gone through about half of it in 2.5 years. |
|
|
I used to drink it when I was younger. It’s not bad, but I’ll have to agree with others it’s just too sweet for me.

I need to pick up a bottle of the crown royal bourbon mash. That will be the first crown I will have had in over 10 years.
|
|
I use it in homemade bbq sauce and it’s nice. I drink it it with coke sometimes when I run out of SoCo and RC cola.
|
|
You can always donate those bags for a good cause.
|
|
I dont drink alot but captain morgan and diet coke is all i drink when i do.
|
|
OP is correct.
I actually like Canadian whiskey. It has a nice clean flavor profile |
