Tasting Notes

Crown Royal, the flagship expression of the brand, is a smooth and approachable Canadian whisky first created in 1939 to honor the visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to Canada. The nose opens with aromas of vanilla, caramel, and light oak accented by subtle fruit and spice. On the palate, it is mellow and balanced, delivering flavors of honey, toffee, and sweet corn layered with gentle spice and roasted nut. The texture is soft and silky, leading into a clean, medium finish with lingering vanilla and oak.

Food Pairings

As a starter, pair it with smoked salmon, roasted almonds, or charcuterie. For a main course, it complements roasted chicken, glazed ham, or grilled pork chops. In the cheese course, mild cheddar, Havarti, or creamy brie highlight its smooth sweetness. For dessert, it pairs beautifully with apple pie, bread pudding, or shortbread cookies.
