Must-Try Bottles from Crown Royal

Crown Royal Canadian Whisky

The flagship blend brings together a range of aged whiskies to create a smooth, balanced profile. Expect soft caramel, light vanilla, and gentle fruit notes on the palate with a clean, easy finish. It's designed to be versatile: drink it neat, on the rocks, or as the reliable base in mixed drinks where you want body without heavy oak or spice.

Crown Royal Canadian Whisky Vanilla

This expression layers natural vanilla flavor onto the core Crown Royal blend. The result is sweeter up front, with warm vanilla baking notes and creamier mouthfeel while the underlying whisky keeps a touch of grain and light fruit. It's meant for simple, dessert-style serves, cocktails that need a vanilla lift, or anyone who prefers a softer, sweeter whiskey experience.

Crown Royal Canadian Whisky Apple

Built from the same blended base, this adds crisp orchard fruit flavor. Think green apple and a hint of tartness balanced by the blend's caramel backbone. It's intentionally easy-drinking and mixer-friendly, so, yes, add it to cider, cola, or simple highballs for a fruity, seasonal twist without masking the whiskey's structure.

Awards and Recognition

Jim Murray, a well-known whisky critic, dubbed Crown Royal's Northern Harvest Rye as the World Whisky of the Year for 2016. The same bottle was a category winner in the World Whiskies Awards 2022. Crown Royal's Noble Winter Wheat was also crowned (pun intended) World's Best Canadian Blended in the World Whiskies Awards 2022.
