Many whiskies tout the fact that they’re pot-distilled, as the squat, rounded pot stills allow for greater extraction of congeners (flavor globules). Column stills are more often used (as is the case with vodkas like Absolut) for their efficiency — no cleanup between distillations required — and ability to strip congeners from the distillate. Crown Royal stops well short of stripping away flavor, using its 12 column stills to efficiently blend together corn, barley, and rye distillates with aforementioned legally unconstrained abandon.

You could say that the rules for whisky production in Canada are lax compared to those in America. Unlike American “rye whiskey,” which legally must contain at least 51 percent rye, Canadian whisky can have zero, some, or a whole lot of rye in its mash bill. Crown Royal XR (Extra Rare) was introduced in 2006. This limited-release version was sold in numbered bottles and was originally made from the last batches of whiskey distilled at the now-closed Waterloo, Ontario, distillery; it now features whisky from the also now-closed Lasalle, Quebec, distillery. [13] It received a 7¼ and 7¾ from Whisky Magazine critics. [14] [15] The LaSalle-based Crown Royal XR features a blue colour scheme to distinguish it from the red scheme of the original Waterloo-based version. [15] American non-patriots, that is. During the American Revolution, an estimated 15 to 25 percent of the [U.S.] population remained loyal to the crown. Their solution? Head up north, where they could continue to genuflect to the aristocracy. Thankfully, some loyalists became what were known as “gristmill” (grain-grinding) operators, eventually repaying their abandonment of America with delicious Canadian whisky.Crown Royal was introduced in 1939 and is the original version of the brand. It was available only in Canada until 1964. Crown Royal comes in a purple felt-like bag with a gold tasseled drawstring. The Bronfmans: The Rise and Fall of the House of Seagram; Nicholas Faith; Thomas Dunne Books - May 30, 2006 - ISBN 0-312-33219-X After the royal couple’s departure, news of the exceptional whisky beloved by a king began to spread throughout North America. But Crown Royal was available only in Canada until the 1960s, when it was first introduced to international markets. Since its stateside debut, Crown Royal has become the top-selling Canadian whisky in the U.S. In 1943, Seagram’s then-president Samuel Bronfman explained to rabbinical student Solomon Maimon that his first two attempts at distilling the whisky that would become Crown Royal were miserable failures. But from those not-so-good attempts came Crown Royal Deluxe — the flagship whisky of the Crown Royal brand. The signature recipe was salvaged when Bronfman’s own rabbi told him to imbue the whisky with a spiritual purpose, yielding a smooth blend of no fewer than 50 whiskies — thus giving birth to a now-international drinks empire. Incidentally, the Crown Royal symbol and iconic purple bag look a lot like the Jewish keter malchut crown and tallit, or prayer shawl bag, respectively.
