The sixth release in the collection, Crown Royal Winter Wheat is by far the best and went a different direction with this release-bottling a wheat whiskey of unspecified age made with 51% winter wheat, 39% corn, and 10% malted barley — instead of the usual rye. The aroma is deep and tempting with dark caramels, oak, creamed corn, and burnt sugar. The palate has some complexity with dried stone fruit, honeycomb, applesauce, caramel, and black tea, that is all well balanced and not too sweet. Finish is warm with cinnamon and clove.
