TASTING NOTES

NOSE
Crown Royal Texas Mesquite begins with a nose of mesquite smoke and vanilla with hints of barbecue spice.

PALATE
Opens with a smoky mesquite and oak flavor backed by notes of creamy vanilla and caramel.

FINISH
Light and oaky with smoked mesquite and barbecue notes. The rustic and refined notes of smoke, molasses and wood are truly distinctive, yet familiar.


I haven't tried it yet, but based on this description from their website, I feel like this stuff is either really good or really terrible...with nothing in between.

Sounds awful. Why does something like this need to exist?

Is this real? It sounds absolutely terrible.

Tasting translation: it starts with the bitter, burned taste of mesquite smoke and finishes with sweet ketchupy bbq sauce flavor that will leave you asking "why?"

Exactly. Cough syrup with a smoke taste?

Texans always need their own type of something. Texas this, Texas Edition that.

My buddy is a state manager for Diageo. The "problem" they have with the Crown line is that some people will actually purchase this repugnant stuff and claim it's their new favorite version. Crown Apple is a massive seller, for example. This means they will never be able to leave well enough alone and just sell the original blend which was, itself, marketed as the best Canadian whisky blend ever produced.

Balcones Brimstone is similar to this, but is actually pretty good. Don't know if I'd go out and grab a whole bottle, but a drink here and there wouldn't be bad.

I had some at a BBQ tasting a few weeks ago. As the rep said, "it's reminiscent of an early Saturday morning drink while getting a brisket going in the backyard." Not really s better way to describe it, either. Light smoke and a sweet finish, but no seasoning or any kind of crap flavors like that.

Have a friend that pretty much only drinks Crown. He bought this **** and loves it. It tastes like straight liquid smoke.

Someone gave a bottle to my husband since we are big crown drinkers.

The leadership at Crown needs to stop drinking on the job.

I've always wondered how mesquite barrels would work for aging whiskey.

Not good. Way too much tannin.
