[...] tasting note vocabulary that reviewer Davin de Kergommeaux possesses – and he impresses again with his review of Crown Royal Cask No. 16. [Canadian [...]
Gee, thanks for the kind words, Greg. I’m happy to be part of Taste T.O.
I have been a neat whiskey drinker for 25 years and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the great taste and smooth finish. I have tried many whiskeys but this is the best I have tasted so far also the most expensive. I feel the price wasn’t out of line and would recommend it.
I heard ypu where making Cask 16 any longer. Is that true??
Where can I purchase this?
LCBO stores do not have it.
Thank you
I am not sure. Rumours say it is out of production but I have not heard anything official.
I have a case of each size of Crown Royal Cask No 16 if you are interested in buying any. 405-826-8525
Do you still have any of the Cask 16?
I have 12 bottles of Crown Royal Cask 16
Do you still have any of the cask 16 available? If so what is your asking price per bottle and I see you are in area code 405 which is pretty close to me.
Randy are you in the US or Canada?
I am looking for some cask 16 do you have or know anyone that might have some for sale
I have several bottles left. $400 per bottle plus shipping
Do they still make Crown Royal Cask No.16?
Some US distributors and liquor stores are not carrying this excellent whiskey any longer.
This has been discontinued, unfortunately. You can still find it at a few places online if you are lucky enough to live in a state they will ship to. Texas is not one of those states. I found some 375ml bottles in South Carolina six weeks ago and some in Sequin, Texas two weeks ago. Good luck. I have six 750ml bottles in reserve and will be drinking it very sparingly.
A sad day for Crown, especially in light of the abomination that is Maple
I have a case of each size of Crown Royal Cask No 16 if you are interested in buying any. 405-826-8525
Lenny, I am interested. I can legally have up to one gallon shipped to my home state of Virginia. Please contact me at my email address to arrange… Yes, it is a sad day…
Thanks,
Tony
If you still have any Cask 16 left I am interested in it. I live in the state of AZ and I do believe it can be shipped here. Please email me and let me know ASAP. My husband has been looking for this and it would e a great birthday present. Thanks, Kristina
Hi Kristina. I am a whisky writer and I do not make or sell whisky of any kind, so sorry, I am unable to help you. As well, in Canada we are not allowed to ship or mail whisky so I think you might want to try an on-line store in the US. Good luck.

do whisky purists drink cognac regularly(or at all)?
i just read a review on this bottle by another writer that seemed to descriminate against brandy altogether.
Not sure. I think most people are more interested in great flavour and less interested in where it comes from. I drink fine spirits and don’t worry about where they are made or what people call them.
Hey Davin!
They dropped the price to $75 here in BC. So I’ve been able to fool my conscience, which really was having a hard time with the self-indulgence of dropping so much coin at the old price, into giving my ego a pat on the pack for being so restrained and waiting out for a bargain…
I haven’t tried it yet, I’ll be waiting ’til there’s a bit more chill in the air. I plan to enjoy every drop of this neat…the upcoming cool September and October nights will be perfect.
Good move! Supplies are running low and plans are eventually to discontinue this whisky so get it while the getting’s good.
My favorite whiskey and am very sad that it is no longer in production. I’m not a connoisseur by no means, but I just love the taste. I found 2 cases of the 750ml and have them to last me a while. I hope that Crown Royal will decide to bring it back. If they could get it into bars it would help sales! I never once saw it in a bar/restaurant. I did once.. In Kansas City at a very nice restaurant I did.
This is my favorite CR whiskey and am sad.
Lack of sales was not the reason to discontinue. It is a very special whisky requiring very special barrels and these are in short supply. They decided to discontinue rather than disappointing loyal Crown lovers year after year.
Davin, how come it is being discontinued?
Poor sales I presume. Availability of French oak from Cognac?
Inquiring minds would like to know. This is a great whisky and I think it is a pity it is discontinued.
I for one am very disappointed with Crown Royal for discontinuing the production of Cask No. 16! Then they throw the Maple out there after throwing Cask 16 overboard…please!
Have you tried XO?
I’ve been a big fan of Cask 16- fortunately, it has been returned and rebranded as Crown XO- and retails for less than 1/2 the price!
Not the same flavour profile either.
I have 1 bottle of cask 16 I am willing to part with.
Anybody interested let me know
Russradcliff@gmail.com
I have Crown Royal Cask 16 available if anyone is interested. Kyle_ramie@hotmail.com
Inerested in purchasing a bottle
I have three bottles of crown royal cask no 16 for a reasonable price and also one bottle of crown royal xr red. Please email me for inquiries at lmcdani5@gmail.com
I have 20 bottles of Crown Cask and I’m not parting with any of them! I will enjoy everyone of them on special occasions. Our second Grand child is due any day now!
I guess that leaves 19 bottles.
LCBO is still showing 591 bottles in inventory..I have a couple stockpiled…
I am not familiar with LCBO,can you give me more information. I am looking for a bottle of the Crown Royal Cask no. 16, I live in Missouri.
Thank you
LCBO is the government-owned monopoly chain of liquor stores in Ontario Canada. You cannot buy Cask 16 in the US any longer and Canadian stores are not allowed to ship it.
Thanks Davin. Anyway to purchase from an individual?
I suppose you could but it is not legal and if you get caught it’s no fun.
LOL!! I bet not. Appreciate it, thanks
I see some listed on eBay now; the truth is, when it’s gone, its gone.
I have a brand new in the box sealed 750ml of Crown Royal Cask No. 16, let me know if interested
I am intrested, how much and would I be able to get it shipped to me.
I’m looking for a bottle of Cask 16. Let me know if anyone has one for sale. coachowings@comcast.net

Have a bottle of Cask 16 750ml for sale. Unopened kept in my liquor cabinet. donjose25@aol.com message if interested. Looking for a fair price plus shipping.
I was told that there was only one distillery that made the cask 16, and that it burned down. they attempted to make it at another distillery but it wasn’t the same so they discontinued it. Has anyone else heard this if so please confirm for me
This is not true. Cask No. 16 was made at the Gimli distillery. Gimli is still in operation and has expanded since the Cask 16 days.
Crown Royal was first made at the Waterloo distillery but this distillery was very old and run down and eventually was taken out of production. After it was closed this old, unused plant did catch fire and some pars of it were destroyed. However, this is entirely unrelated to Cask No 16 as it was never made there.
Looking to buy one 750ml Cask no16 and a 750ml Special Reserve at decent price, please email Leeracin273@yahoo.com
Looking for Cask 16 at a reasonable price. Let me know if there is any out there.
