Product Information

First introduced in the holiday season of 2019 (as per Columbus Bourbon) and appearing every year since this little beauty does come with the traditional Crown Royal bag (that every Canadian kid worth their syrup kept their marbles in) embroidered with a big old snowflake for festive flare.
