In 1939, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth made history when they became the first reigning monarchs to visit Canada, arriving by boat and traveling the vast North American distance by train.
Upon hearing the historic news, a Canadian spirits entrepreneur decided to create a whisky worthy of the royal couple – an exceptionally generous gift, befitting royalty. With perfection in mind, he meticulously tested over 600 blends before equipping the final product in a faceted glass decanter and a royal purple pouch with gold stitching. The whisky he presented to the King and Queen was an exquisitely smooth blend of about fifty whiskies that became known, appropriately, as Crown Royal.
The train carrying the monarchs was stocked with 10 cases of the royal blend, and rumors of the unparalleled whisky worthy of a king spread quickly. Crown Royal was launched in the United States in the 1960s and has since become the best-selling Canadian whisky.
To this day, every drop of Crown Royal is crafted to meet the same uncompromising standards, making it, for many discerning palates, the finest whisky of all.
