Correct. But I believe the point is that adding "favors" to Whisky is just plain wrong. Go ahead and use a different wood for the aging barrels, etc but don't go adding flavors that are not part of the natural process.

Not a Crown fan anyway, I can't imagine making it even more sticky sweet is going to make me like it more.

Infusing liquors is a trend in city yuppie bars. I think Crown is just trying to tap into that market.

I'm a long time Crown Royal fan, but I hate to admit I'm somewhat intrigued.

I'd be willing to try it if I could buy a small bottle.

From the website....

The legendary taste of Crown Royal with a touch of natural maple flavor. Our master blender finished our celebrated whisky with maple-toasted oak to yield a uniquely smooth experience.

It’s a perfect blend of Crown Royal's signature caramel and vanilla nose with the elegant aromas of light, fresh maple that creates a flavor profile that finishes on an authentically warm and woody note. Whisky Started, Maple Finished.

Alcohol, by nature, doesn't taste all that good. Flavored liquors are marketed to people that don't like the taste of alcohol to begin with.

One of the largest sections of flavored liquor consumers are... underage kids.
That's because flavored liquor has all the power of real liquor without the unpleasant taste. Just look at some of the flavors: fluffy marshmallow, whipped cream, bubble gum... these are aimed at the underage crowd.

Mixed drinks are different; as they attempt to have the added items
build on the other; instead of tyring to change the overall flavor.

WHEW - good thing I dont' drink alcohol any more (and haven't for over 20 years) ... or I would be pationant about this.

I am a Crown Fan and I have tried it. It is terrible. Leaves a bad aftertaste that makes Jeigermeister seem like a delicacy.

Not according to history! Flavours have been added to straight whiskey for hundreds of years. The monks started doing it first as in Brandy and Benedictine, and Grand Marnier, and then the Scots with Drambuie, and countless other famous libations (Southern Comfort!). Experimentation is Gooooooooood!:
