What is Crown Royal Blended Canadian Whisky?

Crown Royal's signature smooth flavor comes from blending 50 different whiskies aged in charred oak barrels. Interestingly, the iconic purple bag that houses each bottle was originally created as a tribute to King George VI during his 1939 visit to Canada - the first time a reigning monarch had visited North America.

Why do we love Crown Royal Blended Canadian Whisky?

Crown Royal Blended Canadian Whisky stands out for its exceptionally smooth, creamy texture and subtle complexity, achieved through a unique blend of 50 full-bodied whiskies aged in oak barrels. Unlike rum, which is made from sugarcane byproducts, Crown Royal's distinctive flavor profile comes from its use of rye, corn, and barley malt, creating a balanced whisky that's perfect for sipping neat or as the foundation for classic cocktails.

How do you drink Crown Royal Blended Canadian Whisky?

Crown Royal Blended Canadian Whisky shines when sipped neat or on the rocks, allowing its smooth, full-bodied character to take center stage. It also mixes beautifully in whisky-forward cocktails, making it a versatile choice for cozy autumn evenings or holiday gatherings, and pairs wonderfully with rich, savory dishes like roasted meats or aged cheeses.

Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Vanilla and brown sugar aromas lead, followed by hints of ripe orchard fruits like apple and pear. A subtle oakiness and light spice notes of cinnamon and nutmeg round out the bouquet.

Palate: Smooth and creamy texture carries flavors of caramel, maple syrup, and toasted grains. Gentle oak tannins provide structure, while touches of dried fruit and baking spices add complexity. A slight nuttiness emerges as it develops on the tongue.

Finish: Medium-length finish with lingering warmth. Vanilla and caramel notes persist, accompanied by a mild peppery spice. Faint hints of leather and tobacco leave a pleasantly dry sensation.

Crown Royal is crafted from a blend of 50 different whiskies, each aged in oak barrels, then masterfully combined to create its signature smooth taste. One unique aspect of its production is the use of a rare Coffey still, which allows for continuous distillation and helps develop the whisky's distinct fruity and creamy notes.

Crown Royal was originally created in 1939 as a gift for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth during their visit to Canada. It was packaged in a purple bag to symbolize royalty, a tradition that continues to this day with every bottle sold.

The Crown Royal distillery in Gimli, Manitoba, is home to over 1.5 million barrels of aging whisky, making it one of the largest whisky aging warehouses in the world. If stacked end-to-end, these barrels would stretch from New York City to Los Angeles.

Despite its regal name and reputation, Crown Royal has a surprising connection to NASCAR. It became the first spirits brand to sponsor a NASCAR race in 2005, and has since become deeply ingrained in racing culture, even creating special NASCAR-themed bottles.
