Aromas of vanilla, creamy chocolate and oak open each sip, leading to delicate hints of caramel and toffee on the palate and finishing with lingering notes of dark cacao and Crown Royal’s unmistakable smoothness, it says. This innovation showcases the quality and craftsmanship that Crown Royal is known for, while introducing a decadent new flavor that invites people to indulge and explore whisky in unexpected ways, it adds.

Crown Royal Chocolate Flavored Whisky shines in cocktail pairings that go beyond the ordinary whisky serves, and mixes with ease into grapefruit juice, cola and lemonade creating surprisingly delicious combinations, the company notes. This new variant also shines as a rich and unconventional twist to the classics like an Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini and Coquito, it says.

“Crown Royal has always led the way in whisky innovation and with this new flavor we’re inviting people to indulge in something truly unexpected,” said Hadley Schafer, vice president of Crown Royal, in a statement. “This new expression maintains the quality of whisky we take pride in, while leaning into the bold yet inviting spirit that defines our flavored whiskies portfolio. I’m excited for brand fans to enjoy Crown Royal Chocolate Flavored Whisky in ways they could never imagine.”

Crown Royal Chocolate Flavored Whisky is available nationally for a limited time with a suggested retail price of $26.99 a bottle
