Crown Royal Salted Caramel takes the brand’s smooth Canadian whisky and folds in exactly the flavor its name promises: buttery caramel with a real salt edge, not just sweetness. The base is the familiar blended whisky, so vanilla and light oak still show underneath the candy-shop top layer. Bottled at 70 proof, it pours soft and lands on the sweet-and-salty seesaw that built its following. This is a seasonal release that arrives in fall and is usually gone by the new year. Serve it chilled as dessert in a glass, splash it into cream soda or hot apple cider, or hand it to the person who insists whiskey is not for them.
