 Tasted by Evilhomer123 on 4/2/2020 & rated 90 points: An absolute gem for the money. Big flavours and so smooth at 50% (516 views)
 Tasted by saulbass on 12/17/2016 & rated 90 points: Nose. Rye grain and spice. Winter. Light brown sugar simple syrup and minor lacquer and wood notes on back and bottom of nasal.

Palate. Light upon entry but quickly broadens on front of tongue and bottom of throat. Big rye spices with brown sugar simple syrup behind. Essence of Asian pear.

Finish. Coats back of throat. But dissipates quickly. Feels substantially less than its 101 proof. Some rye spice remains on back palate but like the burn does not stick around long.

Overall. A very good and straightforward rye that is accessible and well priced ($40/L). Doesn't blow you away but solid everyday pour. (1024 views)

Rye - Our Blending Process

OUR PROCESS

The process of making the finest, smoothest Canadian Whisky starts with the finest Canadian ingredients. Roughly 80% of our grain (rye, corn and barley) is sourced from Manitoba and surrounding provinces – resilient natural ingredients that were born to weather the challenging conditions where subzero temperatures are the norm.

Lake Winnipeg gives us pure water naturally filtered through the limestone beneath. Twelve distillation columns produce the fifty whiskies that comprise our signature blend – a result of five different recipes aged for varying periods of time in either new or re-use charred oak barrels. Our maturing barrels experience extreme temperature swings, the wood’s expansion and contraction slowly adding to the developing character. Once the whiskies have been aged to our blenders’ satisfaction, they are meticulously blended to create the signature rich, smooth, award-winning flavor of Crown Royal.

OUR HISTORY

A lifetime of experience goes into every bottle of Crown Royal.


OUR HOME

Nestled along the western shore of Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba lies the small village of Gimli.


OUR PROCESS

Fifty of the finest whiskies are meticulously blended to create the signature smoothness of Crown Royal.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.
