The Pinnacle of the Crown Royal Range
Crown Royal was created in 1939 by Seagram to honor the royal visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to Canada. The Extra Rare 18 Year Old sits at the top of the lineup — the brand calls it "the pinnacle of blending," drawing on some of its rarest long-aged stocks. The packaging matches the ambition: a crown-shaped bottle in a purple velvet bag with a matching case. Discover more Canadian whisky and the complete Crown Royal collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand's own copy: vanilla and stone fruit on the nose; a velvety body of light oak tempered by caramel spice; delicate notes of nougat lingering in the full-bodied finish.
How to Enjoy
This is a neat-pour whisky — serve in a Glencairn or tumbler at room temperature. If you must mix, a Manhattan with quality vermouth is worthy of it.
