{"product_id":"crown-royal-reserve-canadian-whisky","title":"Crown Royal Reserve 12 Year Canadian Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrown Royal Reserve 12 Year Old is the premium age-stated expression in the core Crown Royal lineup — a hand-selected blend of five reserve-grade whiskies all aged a minimum of 12 years, producing a richer, more complex Canadian whisky with orchard fruit, white chocolate, toasted oak, and vanilla character that rewards the patience the extended aging represents.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the standard Crown Royal Deluxe blends 50 component whiskeys at varying ages, the Reserve 12 Year is built from a tighter selection of five premium whiskeys aged specifically for 12 years — patience as the primary production differentiator. Twelve years in white oak through the Canadian climate produces more developed fruit complexity, deeper caramel integration, and the oak structure that shorter-aged Canadian whiskies don't develop. The result is a whisky that is still recognizably Crown Royal in its smoothness and approachability, but with a depth and complexity that the unfished standard blend cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orchard fruit, caramel, white chocolate, and vanilla with subtle toasted oak and warm rye spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy and indulgent — orchard fruit leading into caramel, white chocolate, vanilla, and a refined oak structure from the 12-year aging\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, velvety, and long with lingering fruit and a gentle warmth\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, Age Stated\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Years minimum\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five reserve-grade whiskies\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\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow does Crown Royal Reserve 12 Year differ from standard Crown Royal?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard Crown Royal Deluxe blends 50 component whiskeys at varying ages.
