Product Description
The Crown Royal Noble Collection is a series of limited releases that celebrates the skilled craftsmanship of our distillers and blenders -- and their dedication to the art of creating extraordinary whiskies. This seventh expression in the Noble Collection is a limited release of the Barley Edition, a blended Canadian whisky, distilled from unmalted and malted barley grains, specifically selected to produce an exceptional liquid. Carefully aged in American white oak barrels to enhance the unique taste of barley and bring to life a complexity of flavors. This remarkably balanced and delicious whisky is hand selected from our reserve stock, revealing its noble roots with every sip. Carefully crafted for a one-of-a-kind experience, this whisky reveals spicy notes of toasted oak and sweet caramel while complemented by an aroma of creamy vanilla nd fruity green apple, with a well-rounded, lasting finish. We are honored to share this exceptional whisky and we hope you enjoy it. We certainly had fun creating it.

What critics and judges wrote
Whisky Advocate · Shane English · 2023
The palate is delicate and sweet with layers of vanilla frosting holding together sugar wafers, cereal grains, and a whisper of toasted oak. The finish has good structure and adds chocolate-covered espresso beans and dry oak.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
The aroma of the whisky is on the light side, but there is a touch of nuttiness along with some dried grass and toasted oak. … Not really a whisky you want to drink on its own.
