{"product_id":"crown-royal-noble-collection-wine-barrel-finished","title":"Crown Royal Noble Collection Wine Barrel Finished","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrown Royal Noble Collection Wine Barrel Finished is the second expression in Crown Royal's premium Noble Collection series — the Crown Royal Fine De Luxe blend finished in Cabernet Sauvignon wine barrels, with the residual red wine character in the wood migrating into the whisky to produce an intriguing new complexity: dark fruit, red wine tannin, and a wine-influenced depth alongside the familiar Crown Royal vanilla and rye spice foundation.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCabernet Sauvignon barrel finishing is a deliberate production choice — the variety is known for its dark fruit (black cherry, cassis), firm tannin, and oak character, all of which transfer partially to spirits during cask finishing. The Crown Royal Fine De Luxe base provides the smooth, approachable structure; the Cabernet finishing adds a layer of wine-adjacent complexity that makes this Noble Collection expression distinctly different from anything else in the lineup. The result remains unmistakably Crown Royal — the Canadian whisky house style is maintained — but with a wine-influenced character that makes it genuinely interesting for those who enjoy cask-finished expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crown Royal caramel and vanilla with red fruit and a hint of Cabernet-influenced oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and balanced — vanilla, caramel, and dark fruit with the mild tannin and wine complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon cask finishing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and satisfying with spice, sweetness, and a wine-influenced depth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crown Royal Distilling Company, Gimli, Manitoba, Canada\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Canadian Whisky, Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Barrel Finished\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Noble Collection (Second Expression)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/crown-royal\"\u003eCrown Royal expressions at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does Cabernet Sauvignon barrel finishing add to Crown Royal?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Dark fruit, mild tannin, and wine-adjacent complexity from the residual Cabernet character in the barrels — layered over the familiar Crown Royal vanilla and caramel base.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Crown Royal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42904538251335,"sku":"crown-royal-noble-collection-wine-barrel-finished","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/Crown_Royal_Noble_Collection_Wine_Barrel_Finished.png?v=1782425342","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/crown-royal-noble-collection-wine-barrel-finished","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
