Crown Royal Vanilla Tasting in Atlanta #VanillaSoGood Monday 21 November, 2016
Its a new season and time for some new flavors, and I got a chance to experience the new Crown Royal Vanilla that brings a new sweetness to whiskey. The tasting was done at The Glenn Hotel’s Skylounge Rooftop that was the perfect ambiance for the experience. We got to taste the new Crown Royal Vanilla, mingle and enjoy the beautiful skyline of downtown Atlanta that is in direct view of the CNN Center, SkyView ferriswheel and other skyrises and views of the city. I was excited to try the new flavor of Crown. I got a chance earlier this year to experience Crown Royal Apple, so lets see what Crown Royal Vanilla has in store. Is Vanilla So Good Really?
Crown Royal is adding a delicious new whisky to its family with the introduction of Crown Royal Vanilla Flavored Whisky, a blend of hand-selected Crown Royal whiskies infused with the rich flavor of Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. The result is a unique whisky bursting with vanilla flavor and Crown Royal’s superior smoothness. A versatile drink for all seasons, Crown Royal Vanilla tastes great when mixed with sodas (for a Vanilla take on hard sodas), used to create a Vanilla twist on classic cocktails (like a Vanilla Old Fashioned and Vanilla Hot Toddy) or simply sipped on the rocks.
Demo taste test of the Crown Royal Vanilla and Deluxe flavors
Guided by taste testing demo to try the Crown Royal Vanilla and Deluxe flavors without any mixers.
Crown Royal Vanilla begins with aromas of rich vanilla bean and delicate hints of oak. The taste opens with a delicious, not-too-sweet vanilla flavor followed by Crown Royal’s signature smooth finish. The mouthfeel is pleasant and warm, with an aftertaste reminiscent of crème brulee.

Overall I did enjoy the tasting of the new Crown Royal Vanilla. Got a chance to hang out with some of my friends, learn more about the drink and enjoy the Atlanta skyline view. I am now enjoying the Vanilla, to me which is a unisex flavor that anyone of drinking age would enjoy. I am even thinking of a few recipes that can be spruced up with this vanilla bourbon for myself. A spiked Hot Chocolate, adult sundaes, and more. There are some holiday functions and gathering coming up soon that I can introduce people and make some festive drinks. I am pretty creative so this new flavor will get some great usage!

I’m a huge fan of Crown Royal Apple so I cannot wait to give this one a try. I like my Crown Royal straight with ice, so that’s how I will be drinking this one!
Queen of the South! YES! YES! YES! I recently went to Scotland and grew quite a taste for whiskey! I hadn’t thought of these combinations though so I am very excited to try this!
You sure had a fun time! The drinks you had looked good. I’ve never tried Crown Royal Vanilla. It must be awesome. I am going to look for that and mix some drinks this Thanksgiving.
Never tried this but have to admit I’m ready to bring some vanilla Into my cocktail game and this looks like the perfect opportunity to do so! Definitely going to try!
I love Crown Vanilla way more than I probably should. It’s so smooth on ice and I adore it with root beer. I pray this event doesn’t come to DFW. I wouldn’t know how to act! haha
oh I’ve always wanted to go for a tasting and this sounds like a good one because it’s not wine or beer (which I am not a huge fan of)
I’m a huge fan of Crown Royal Apple so I cannot wait to give this one a try. I like my Crown Royal straight with ice, so that’s how I will be drinking this one!

We love crown royal. What a great new flavor! I will have to pick this up for the holidays!
Crown Royal in and of itself is pretty tasty. A vanilla flavor just might be more than I can handle. I would love to try it though.
Oh my, Crown Royal in Vanilla? It looks like a blue velvet bag is in my future. Do they still come in those blue velvet bags?
This drink looks great, would love to try it! Glad you had such a lovely evening trying it.
This looks like a great event. I have not tried this yet, but I would like to. I bet it would be great mixed with a coke.

LOVE vanilla! I really am all about this flavor and now in Crown Royal? Cant wait to make the mule version this holiday season! Cheers!
The Queen of the South cocktail sounds pretty good! I haven’t had a crown royal since the last time I was at a resort.
This looks SO GOOD. I want to try it ASAP. I’m not a huge liquor fan but when I drink I usually go for the stronger stuff.

I just love Crown Royal. I keep seeing the commercials for the vanilla flavor. I cannot wait to try it.
I would try anything once. How do you know if you like something if you don’t try it right? I like vanilla, so might like it then right?
This looks like a fun event! I’m not a huge fan of vanilla flavoring but I definitely wouldn’t turn it down!
Wow! This looks so refreshing. Never tried something like this before. I am sure it tastes great. Would definitely try.
My husband is going to flip for the new vanilla flavor. I may just have to sneak some into his stocking this year!
Wow! Such an awesome event! I wish I could have a chance to attend a wine tasting next year. 😀
Sounds like a cool event. MY husband and I do not drink any alcohol so it wouldn’t be that exciting for us. Looks like others would like it though!
Mmmmm, this looks delicious. I’m a queen of the south girl.
I’m not a big drinker but this sounds interesting. I had no idea they made a vanilla version of this.
Crown Royal in Vanilla???? OMGosh…. this has to be the best thing I have seen all day. I need this in my life.

Atlanta is added to Crown Royal??? I wonder if my grown boys know, they both like Crown.
Looks like a fun time. I’m not a strong liquor drinker but the packaging and the overall presentation of this would make me buy the product.
I’ve never tried Crown Royal Vanilla but I bet it is delicious. I have sampled regular Crown Royal and I really liked the taste.
It looks like you had a fantastic time. BTW, great photos. I’ve never tried Crown Royal before it sounds interesting.
I love vanilla flavored things. With the smooth taste of Crown Royal vanilla is a perfect pairing. I would try it.

That sounds like a warm and fun drink for winter! Vanilla cocktails sound like a yummy idea!
I love vanilla so this is right up my alley. I can’t wait to try this, I think it would be great for the cold months.
How did I NOT know Crown Royal made a vanilla option? I can never turn down a delicious Crown and Coke!
Why didn’t you take me with you? I didn’t know they had a new thing coming out! Have to try that!
I must admit that I haven’t had Crown Royal in a bit, but this vanilla version sounds good. I can imagine it in a pecan pie.
This sounds like such a fun event. Especially when you have your friends with you.
I love Crown Vanilla way more than I probably should. It’s so smooth on ice and I adore it with root beer. I pray this event doesn’t come to DFW. I wouldn’t know how to act! haha
