Retrieved 18 December 2015. Crown Royal Deluxe isn’t just the brand’s flagship whisky. It’s quintessentially Canadian. That’s because Crown Royal Deluxe combines the lighter body of column-distilled whiskey with the fruity and spicy notes from rye. That’s part of the pleasant unpredictability of Canadian whiskies: fewer rules more options can create surprising juxtapositions of flavors and textures. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were the first reigning monarchs to visit Canada and Bronfman, a Canadian spirits entrepreneur, meticulously trialled more than 600 blends before he was happy with the final product.

(Limited Edition) 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. 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.

And while there are plenty of incredibly tasty Canadian whiskies worth sampling, why not start with the brand that’s famously “Fit for a King” and swathed in purple velvet? 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.
