Those who prefer ultra-mature expressions typically turn up their nose at flavored spirits. With its Golden Apple 23-Year Whiskey, Crown Royal is combining the two. It's a blend of whiskies aged for 23 years and then imbued with the taste of golden delicious apples. While it's predictably apple-forward on the nose, the palate balances the fruit flavor with notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and cinnamon, with a lingering spice finish. Best served neat or on ice.
