Crown Royal was first produced for the visiting King George and Queen Elizabeth in 1939, and since, it has enjoyed a reputation as one of the highest highest-caliber Canadian spirits. Canadian whisky is typically based in the rye grain, contributing a marked spiciness to the profile. Crown Royal distinguishes itself with rich cherry and oak rounding out the classic flavors, providing an unmistakable character. You may be tempted to mix your Crown, but enjoying it neat or on the rocks is the best way for this north-of-the-border bone warmer to express its royalty.
