    Color
    Pale caramel
    Nose
    Very mellow wood , floral and candy notes.
    Body
    Light bodied. Gentle on the palate. Slightly sweet.
    Palate
    Nothing especially overwhelming. Just a good, all-purpose blend.
    Finish
    A surprisingly warm, mellow and creamy finish.

    This is by far the smoothest whisky I've ever enjoyed.

    Color
    amber
    Nose
    pleasant, spicy with a wood overtone
    Body
    middle of the road smooth. Poor compared to CR Special Reserve or especially Cask 16
    Palate
    spice with a wood kick.
    Finish
    long finish, with some bite. Tingly.

    OK. A very good mixing whiskey. I would share it with friends.

    Wet trees and grass, lemony cork.

    Light, nimble, solvent.
    Palate
    Peat, salt, rubber.
    Finish
    Warm finish, bitter to the end.

    May be good as a mixer, not easy to enjoy neat.

    Color
    rich amber
    Nose
    wiff of vanilla with a hint of citrus
    Palate
    very smooth and creamy
    Finish
    long lasting with a slight bite of rye

    Crown Royal is CANADIAN whiskey and the best of the lot. It isn't supposed to taste like bourbon or scotch. It is simple, elegant, and comfortable.

    Color
    Light Caramel
    Nose
    Slightly fruited and nutty, sweet and sharp
    Body
    Light and watery
    Palate
    Fruity with a hint of rye
    Finish
    Warm finish that loses the flavor to alcohol sensation

    A very good mixer, but not a good stand alone drink.

    Color
    carmel amber
    Nose
    honey, carmel, alcohol, pineapple.
    Body
    light and creamy
    Palate
    sweet syrup, slightly pungent rye taste, malty. Candy-like
    Finish
    warm and sweet, the malty grain gradually melts away leaving the sweetness and warmth

    A solid example of a Canadian whisky. It's worth keeping some around.

    Color
    Desert Sand
    Nose
    Very light, fruity
    Body
    Light
    Palate
    Not too much there, but like mandarin oranges.
    Finish
    Not bad, lasting taste of a dull fruit.

    Crown is not the best of whiskies but is my favorite Canadian. It is certainly a perfect compliment to a soda (try with root beer!), but not much on its own. To me, it is a good whisky for the price paid. My grandfather's favorite.

    55
    Color
    rich amber
    Nose
    slightly toasted and dried fruity with a hint of solvent
    Body
    watery, less bodied and slightly vaporous
    Palate
    salted honey malt, like brine with honey and solvents
    Finish
    warm finish decaying into a flavour resembling the fragrance of an old carpet in a saloon bar

    clearly a better choice than drinking turps, but not bringing any delicate or unusual flavours or aromas. It is a blend, and seems to be a one size fits all designed to turn coke into an alcoholic beverage.
