Default Crown Royal Black

Okay, so I've always loved Crown Royal, in fact I just had some last night.

But I've always been too much of a tightwad to buy CRB. I can afford it, but to be honest, I always feared I would like it too much, and then the regulsr CR would no longer be good enough.

I was at the store today and they had it on sale for 24.99, so I bought some.

I'm about to open it. Wish me luck.

Tried it once. I still prefer CR, and the Special Reserve is a real treat, but Cask 16 is

CR is awesome. Reserve is awesome. Black sucks IMO.

I like it, but not in such a way that regular CR will not be good enough anymore. That was my real fear. Good stuff, but different.

Anyone that takes a premium booze and mixes it with anything should go back to remedial drinking.

Sorry. Not really into non Scotch whiskeys.

I thought the discussion was about taking something like Glenlivet and mixing it with ginger ale.

CR does make a good whiskey sour. I never drink well liquor in any mixed drink.

On the rocks means over ice, not gravel and pavers.

An old friend just passed. I downed a shot of CRB in his memory. God Bless and Keep Him. That said, it was good. Worth the price? No. But he's a bud. Carry on my wayward son.

you guys take this booze stuff waaaay to serious.

Oh well, I guess I'm the lucky one...2-3 draft Blue Moon's and I'm lit.

However, I understand...back in the day, I took my hashish very serious. Black opiated Lebanese at $2,000.00 an ounce. Yeah, that serious.
