I have seen a new Crown Royal 'Cask 16' whiskey at 'my' liquor store. It sells for about $100 and says that it is finished in a Cognac Cask. Now, I am a great fan of Cognac........while it does not hold a place in my 'spiritual' pantheon equal to Bourbon, I nevertheless think it is just a fantastic spirit.
I found the CR XR to be a first rate whiskey and noted its Cognac-like aromas and taste. Is this new CR offering even more Cognac-like? In your opinion, which I value highly, is it worth the freight?
