In 1943, Seagram’s then-president Samuel Bronfman explained to rabbinical student Solomon Maimon that his first two attempts at distilling the whisky that would become Crown Royal were miserable failures. But from those not-so-good attempts came Crown Royal Deluxe — the flagship whisky of the Crown Royal brand. The signature recipe was salvaged when Bronfman’s own rabbi told him to imbue the whisky with a spiritual purpose, yielding a smooth blend of no fewer than 50 whiskies — thus giving birth to a now-international drinks empire. Incidentally, the Crown Royal symbol and iconic purple bag look a lot like the Jewish keter malchut crown and tallit, or prayer shawl bag, respectively. Discontinued variations [ edit ] A bottle of Crown Royal XR (Red), is a discontinued variation of the whiskey American non-patriots, that is. During the American Revolution, an estimated 15 to 25 percent of the [U.S.] population remained loyal to the crown. Their solution? Head up north, where they could continue to genuflect to the aristocracy. Thankfully, some loyalists became what were known as “gristmill” (grain-grinding) operators, eventually repaying their abandonment of America with delicious Canadian whisky. After the royal couple’s departure, news of the exceptional whisky beloved by a king began to spread throughout North America. But Crown Royal was available only in Canada until the 1960s, when it was first introduced to international markets. Since its stateside debut, Crown Royal has become the top-selling Canadian whisky in the U.S.

Our History

Crown Royal Monarch 75th Anniversary Blend was created in 2014 to commemorate the 1939 royal visit that inspired the brand and was prepared as a gift for the royal family. [17] You could say that the rules for whisky production in Canada are lax compared to those in America. Unlike American “rye whiskey,” which legally must contain at least 51 percent rye, Canadian whisky can have zero, some, or a whole lot of rye in its mash bill.

Towns look to leave mark on booze bottles". Business Edge News Magazine (Ontario Edition). businessedge.ca. One of the only unifying rules of Canadian whisky is aging: All whiskies have to be aged a minimum of three years, though a lot get a lot more time in the barrel. What kind of barrel, you ask? Well, there’s some wiggle room. While in the U.S., bourbon whiskey can only be aged in charred new oak barrels, the Canadian Crown Royal is under no such scrutiny. That’s how you get one company putting various proportions of corn, barley, and rye whisky into anything from virgin, charred new oak and/or re-used charred new oak barrels, to Cognac and Cabernet Sauvignon casks. The flavors can span everything from spice and dried fruit to subtle smoke, vanilla, and caramel. Crown Royal XR (Extra Rare) was introduced in 2006. This limited-release version was sold in numbered bottles and was originally made from the last batches of whiskey distilled at the now-closed Waterloo, Ontario, distillery; it now features whisky from the also now-closed Lasalle, Quebec, distillery. [13] It received a 7¼ and 7¾ from Whisky Magazine critics. [14] [15] The LaSalle-based Crown Royal XR features a blue colour scheme to distinguish it from the red scheme of the original Waterloo-based version. [15] Crown Royal XR (Red) The first edition of Crown Royal XR contained the final batch of aged whiskies from the legendary Waterloo distillery and is a very rare find – it is no longer in production. [18] The whisky was introduced in 1939 by Samuel Bronfman for the 1939 royal tour of Canada. The whisky was sold exclusively in Canada until the 1960s, when it was first introduced to international markets. It is the top-selling brand of Canadian whisky in the United States. [2] Origins [ edit ]In 2008, a fuzzy video showing the former first lady and secretary of state enjoying a dram of the Canadian spirit surfaced online. Though she doesn’t finish the entire shot for the almost certain need to be clear-headed, she does note that Crown Royal is indeed a good whisky. Many whiskies tout the fact that they’re pot-distilled, as the squat, rounded pot stills allow for greater extraction of congeners (flavor globules). Column stills are more often used (as is the case with vodkas like Absolut) for their efficiency — no cleanup between distillations required — and ability to strip congeners from the distillate. Crown Royal stops well short of stripping away flavor, using its 12 column stills to efficiently blend together corn, barley, and rye distillates with aforementioned legally unconstrained abandon. Crown Royal Deluxe isn’t just the brand’s flagship whisky. It’s quintessentially Canadian. That’s because Crown Royal Deluxe combines the lighter body of column-distilled whiskey with the fruity and spicy notes from rye. That’s part of the pleasant unpredictability of Canadian whiskies: fewer rules more options can create surprising juxtapositions of flavors and textures. In 1939, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth made history when they became the first reigning monarchs to visit Canada, arriving by boat and traveling the vast North American distance by train.
