Crown Royal Peach x Juicy Couture is a limited edition collaboration that pairs Canada's most iconic whisky with the Y2K fashion house Juicy Couture, arriving as one of the most giftable and collectible whisky drops of the year. For this release, Crown Royal's signature purple velvet bag is reimagined as a peach velour Juicy Couture bag finished with rhinestone Crown Royal x Juicy lettering, tucked inside a matching gift box with a heart shaped window. It is a full on nostalgia play, and the packaging is as much the point as the pour. Inside the bottle is Crown Royal Peach, the flavored expression that became a runaway phenomenon, built on the brand's hallmark base of a blend of more than 50 Canadian whiskies, then blended and infused with the flavor of ripe orchard peaches. Bottled at 35 percent alcohol by volume, it is smooth, easy and dessert like rather than hot or spirit heavy. It pours a warm golden amber and opens with fresh, juicy peach and soft stone fruit lifted by vanilla, honey and a hint of caramel with delicate floral notes. The palate is velvety and gently sweet, layering nectar rich peach and vanilla cream over the creamy smooth Canadian whisky base with a whisper of oak and soft baking spice, and the finish is long, silky and refreshing with lingering peach sweetness. Best served well chilled or over ice, it also shines lengthened into a tall peach spritz, a whisky lemonade, or mixed with iced tea, ginger ale or sparkling water. Between the couture velour bag and the pure Y2K charm, this is a standout gift and a genuine collector's piece. Note that this is a flavored whisky rather than an unflavored one.
