Crown Royal Nobel Collection Winter Wheat is Canada’s Whisky of the Year in the 2022 Canadian Whisky Awards
Howitzer’s aromatic nose shows toffee, caramel, mild wood, a flash of gunpowder and hints of oranges. Bold, sweet and peppery on the palate, with creamy toffee. Lovely bitter pith early on turns spicy, along with more sweetness and something almost citrus. A medium glowing finish fades back into cleansing bitter pith. Not overly complex. A good solid classic Canadian whisky with a bit of oomph.
The astonishingly rich flavours of Reifel Rye demonstrate why Alberta Distillers is the world’s leading producer of 100% rye grain whisky. Peppery but not overly so, in the glass, its broad swaths of flavour transform into a single complex entity with sweet, creamy, fruity, floral tones and that finishing touch of bitter pith that defines great rye.
