Compare 7 prices from S$60
Crown Royal is one of the best-known names in Canadian whisky, created in 1939 by Samuel Bronfman of Seagram to mark the royal visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to Canada. Today the brand is owned by Diageo, and its whisky is produced at Crown Royal's distillery in Gimli, Manitoba, on the edge of Lake Winnipeg.
Crown Royal is a blended Canadian whisky crafted from multiple individual whiskies rather than from a single mash bill alone. The distillery states it works with five different recipes and twelve distillation columns, using rye, corn and barley sourced primarily from Manitoba and the surrounding provinces. These component whiskies are matured in both new and used charred oak barrels before being blended together to create Crown Royal's famously smooth, rounded house style.
The outcome is a whisky recognised for its balance and accessibility, combining softness and sweetness with spice, oak and a gentle rye lift. This approach has helped establish Crown Royal as one of the defining names in Canadian whisky, with a portfolio that extends well beyond the original deluxe bottling into rye-led, reserve and flavoured expressions.
