Crown Royal Fine De Luxe Blended Canadian Whisky 100 cl 40%

Royal origins, Canadian craft — Crown Royal's classic blend since 1939.

Expert description

Crown Royal Fine De Luxe Blended Canadian Whisky is the brand's classic core expression in a large 100 cl bottle, bottled at 40%. Crown Royal was created in 1939 by spirits magnate Samuel Bronfman to celebrate King George VI and Queen Elizabeth's royal visit to Canada — the first visit by reigning monarchs in the country's history. According to legend, Bronfman tested over 600 different blends before arriving at the final recipe, presented to the royal couple in a decanter wrapped in a purple velvet bag with gold embroidery. The whisky is produced today at the distillery in Gimli, Manitoba, on the shore of Lake Winnipeg, where about 80% of the grain comes from the local region, and the water is naturally filtered through limestone.
