MagicGuy 0 #1 December 29, 2006 I'm a big fan of Crown Royal, and have been wanting to try the Special Reserve that they make. It's a lot more expensive than the regular shit.. about $40 for a 750ml compared to about $25 for the regular Crown. Not many places carry it, so when I saw it yesterday I had to pick up a bottle. I ended up going out last night and drinking Scorpion Bowls, so tonight was the night to crack the bottle open. I have to say that right off the bat, it's not really any different than regular Crown Royal. A bit smoother, maybe, but no difference in taste. I have been mixing with coke though, so maybe I'll have to try some straight on the rocks. Anyways, I'm on my 3rd Crown and Coke, and even though I think I paid too much for the 'good' shit, I'm starting to feel pretty gooooood... Anyone else a fan of the Crown?

matthewcline 0 #6 December 29, 2006 Just put a bottle to rest minutes ago! A moment of silence for the fallen please. Jack is good stuff. Funny that the distillery is just an hour down the road, in a dry county! MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

cocheese 0 #8 December 29, 2006 We swatted a 23 year old bottle of the regular in about 20 mins one night at the dz. Had it in the freezer. I think it worked pretty good. Did a thread on it here somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #9 December 29, 2006 Yes and no. The apparal and accessory stuff is cool, the tour and smells are great! You have to drive down the road a small piece to buy the product though. Make a trip to the Skydive Alabama DZ for a Boogie of theirs or to Tennessee Skydiving Center in Tullahoma and head up I-65N and take the tour, can't miss the signs! Best of both worlds!

MagicGuy 0 #11 December 30, 2006 Jack Daniels is my other favorite. The Single Barrel Jack is so good.. I figured this would be like that. Not quite the same, I would take Single Barrel over the CR Special any day. I get it much cheaper, too. Next time I drink it I'll have it on the rocks.

BillyVance 34 #12 December 30, 2006 Crown Royal is nice, but Gentleman Jack's is better, in my opinion. I have seen the Special Reserve in my area's ABC liquor store though."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #15 December 30, 2006 Last time I drank that was at SD Atlanta. Cory had just returned from a tour in Afghanistan and showed up with a HUGE bottle. Between the 2 of us we killed it that night. I was so drunk and annoying people were trying anything to get me to get the hell out of the hangar. Good times...........Good times.

SkymonkeyONE 3 #20 December 31, 2006 I have a brand-new bottle on my bar right now. My dad has a pair of patch pants made out of Crown bags (mostly special reserve with his name embroidered on the bags). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
