The title of this thread really caught my attention. I had Crown Royal Reserve Canadian whiskey in mind. Oh, well.

Now there's a lovely scent.

But regular Clubman.... oh yeah... thats the stuff!
I've strongly considered a purchase of the Special Reserve because of some favourable reviews I've read, but this thread knocks it down a few pegs!
Seriously, though, I haven't tried the original Clubman yet - I may have the cart before the horse...
Is there anybody here that does get a positive leathery vibe from this? I'm all about getting a good spicy/mossy/leather scent but as soon as people bring up "old lady" it stops me dead in my tracks - that would definitely be a dealbreaker for me. lol

Have you ever read Pérez-Reverte's Captain Alatriste? Imagine that it's an autumn day in 1635. You're a soldier, long in service, just returned to Madrid. You sit down at a small table in a familiar tavern. You brush off the dust of the road, toss your cloak across the chair next to you, your gloves and hat on top of them. You stretch your legs out in front of you, feel the warm afternoon sun on your face. The wine is strong and fragrant, your well cared-for sword is close at hand. You see an old friend approaching from across the square. It's good to be alive.
That, my friends, is Clubman Special Reserve.
I don't understand where the spice comes in. I've blotted it on paper to try, too. I get none of the descriptions others mention.

If it goes full Chuck Norris once it is applied, well, I'll have to take your word for it.
I rather like the stuff. What might you be interested in trading for?If any of you want to trade, let me know.
