Final thoughts

Crown Royal peach follows the tradition of a sweet canadian whiskey.  The most surprising thing though is the flavoring process.  Because there isnt any artificial flavors, you get the sweetness of a real peach.  The peach juice used is very prominent on the nose, but it falls short in the flavor.  It is definitely there, but unfortunately even lowering their proof to 70 wasn't enough.  

The peach is strong enough that this would make for an amazing mixer.  Putting this with tea or lemonade would make a perfect summertime drink, that would be fitting along any lake or ocean.

Intro: 

• Crown Royal Peach came in 3rd for the best flavored whiskey that Crown produces. 
  • It was beat out by Vanilla (#2) and Apple (#1
• Canadian whiskey has gotten a bad rep for adding juice or artificial flavors to their finished product. 
  • It got started when they were allowed to mix American whiskey in with the barrels when they would bring barrels into the US
    • However they did this to get a tax break
    • would make more sense as to why Canadian Club started out as an American whiskey and then moved up (that and given prohibition) 
• Crown Royal’s flavored whiskey line up has always been super strong when it comes to the flavoring
• this may not be the case, but might be partial truth. 
  • According to the Canadian whiskey playbook, if a whiskey contains additional flavoring spirit, that spirit must age for at least two years in wood.
    • Seldomly exercised rule though
