Crown Royal has unveiled the final installment in its Noble Collection, the Barley Edition. The collection of annual limited releases explores the future of extraordinary and cutting-edge Canadian whiskies and celebrates the innovative spirit of the brand’s blenders and distillers.
“The final release of our Noble Collection puts a bow on our roster of whiskies that have pushed boundaries – from unique blending techniques and maturation processes to distillation methods – while honoring our roots and tradition,” says Hadley Schafer, Director, Crown Royal. “We’re excited for consumers to round out their collection with this incredibly robust liquid and raise a glass to the final iteration of the long-standing series.”
Aged for at least five years, the latest expression is a unique blend of whiskies distilled from unmalted and malted barley grains. With spicy notes of toasted oak and sweet caramel, Crown Royal Noble Collection: Barley Edition begins with aromas of creamy vanilla and fruity green apple, leading to a warm and rounded finish.
“This exquisite whisky is a special release for the Crown Royal portfolio, given the expression’s full barley mash bill,” says Stephen Wilson, Director of Whisky Engagement for Crown Royal. “Our team of Distillers and Blenders are always experimenting and innovating and this whisky is a product stemming from that creativity and collaboration, much like our award-winning Winter Wheat!”
Bottled at 45% ABV, Crown Royal Noble Collection: Barley Edition will be available for a limited time for $79.99 per 750ml bottle. For more information, head over to the brand’s official website.
A little over a year ago, Crown Royal unveiled its most luxurious and rare whisky to date, Crown Royal Aged 18 Years.
