North America's best selling Canadian Whisky, difficult to get hold of on this side of the pond.

Formerly the pride of the Seagram's drinks empire, Crown Royal is still produced at their old distillery in Gimli, but the brand and facility are now owned by Diageo.

This however is a special release, produced using the last batches of whisky distilled at the now closed Seagram's Waterloo, the birthplace of the brand in 1924. A dedicated Crown Royal distillery was opened in 1968 in Gimli, Manitoba, where Diageo still make the standard release today. The Waterloo distillery closed in 1990.
