Crown Royal Wine Barrel Finished, the second expression in the Crown Royal Noble Collection, showcases Crown Royal Fine De Luxe Whisky, the standard of excellence for Canadian whisky, finished in Cabernet Sauvignon wine barrels. The result is an intriguing new character that's still unmistakably Crown Royal. Bottled at 40.5% ABV (81 proof).

A Discontinued Collector's Piece

Released in 2017 as part of the limited annual Noble Collection series, this expression celebrates the craftsmanship of Crown Royal's master blender. It has since been discontinued, making remaining bottles a genuine back-vintage collector's item for fans of the brand and wine-cask-finished whisky alike.

A Royal Legacy

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 set out to craft a whisky suited for the Royal Couple, meticulously trialing more than 600 blends before outfitting the final product in a cut-glass decanter and regal purple bag with gold stitching. The blend of roughly fifty whiskies he presented to the King and Queen became known, fittingly, as Crown Royal.

The train carrying the monarchs was stocked with 10 cases of the royal blend, and rumors of the unrivaled whisky fit for a king quickly spread. Crown Royal was released in the United States in the 1960s and has since become the top-selling Canadian whisky. To this day, every drop of Crown Royal is crafted to meet the same uncompromising standards.
