Canadian whisky maker Crown Royal has added a 31-year-old expression to its Higher Marques collection
Crown Royal has unveiled Aged 31 Years, the latest addition to its Higher Marques portfolio. The new Canadian whisky is the third installment in the brand’s Extra Rare Series, following the launch of Aged 30 Years last fall.
Created from barrels hand selected by Crown Royal Master Blender Mark Balkenende the whisky offers spice alongside the brand’s iconic vanilla notes and smoothness. The spice comes at the front of the expression and is complemented by hints of red apple, toasted oak, and a subtle touch of vanilla. The long finish delivers warm fruity spice.
“Crown Royal Aged 31 Years is our rarest variant to date and serves as the perfect addition to any luxury spirits collection,” said Hadley Schafer, VP of Crown Royal. “This whisky has been patiently aging for over three decades, and it’s a true representation of the journey we have taken to create something extraordinary. We are excited to share this unique expression with our loyal brand adorers.”
Bottled at ABV of 46%, Crown Royal Aged 31 Years features a suggested retail price of $599 per 750ml bottle. It is currently available for a limited time in select regions, including Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The suggested retail price is $599 for a 750ml bottle. For more information, head over to the brand’s official website.
Last year, Crown Royal unveiled the final installment in its Noble Collection, the Barley Edition, which explored the outer boundaries of the brand’s whisky making process.
