96pts Whisky Advocate - Forget the Northern Harvest Rye, the Crown Royal Monarch reigns supreme when it comes to the best stock whisky coming out of Gimli Manitoba right now. We don't know if this is a one of or a regular list item, but it is excellent and can stand proudly shoulder to shoulder with the best whiskies in the world!
Tasting Note by Davin de Kergommeaux ( www.whiskyadvocate.com): "Monarch, the 75th anniversary limited edition of Canada’s best-selling whisky, raises the already high Crown Royal flavor bar. Zesty rye from an ancient Coffey still is the throbbing heart of this blend, balancing cloves, ginger, cinnamon, glowing hot pepper, and that gorgeous sour bitterness of rye grain against crispy, fresh-sawn lumber, fragrant lilacs, dark fruits, and green apples. Butterscotch, chocolate, toffee, mint, pine needles, and sweet pitchy balsam enrich a luscious, creamy mouthfeel carefully tempered by grapefruit pith. Editor's Choice."
