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.
