Crown Royal Expands Horizons With New Single Malt Canadian Whisky Expression
Distilled Delicately in Canada’s Cool Climate, Crown Royal Single Malt Canadian Whisky is ‘Cut from the Cold’
NEW YORK, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Award-winning Canadian whisky brand, Crown Royal, is proud to continue their legacy of innovation with the release of Crown Royal Single Malt Canadian Whisky. This is the brand’s first venture into the single malt market, and the liquid offers a unique experience to whisky connoisseurs and adventure-seekers alike. Its welcoming taste and smooth finish are hallmarks of Crown Royal, offering a premium experience for consumers, no matter where they find themselves in their whisky journey.
Distilled at ValleyField Distillery
Crown Royal Single Malt Canadian Whisky pays homage to the brand’s Canadian roots by being distilled at its iconic Valleyfield Distillery, the premier French-speaking whisky distillery in North America. Crafted from 100% malted barley grains and distilled in copper, the whisky is ‘cut from the cold’, using Canada’s cool climate and topography to distill the whisky delicately. This process gives the whisky an even smoother and inviting taste to be enjoyed by both newcomers to the world of elevated whisky and connoisseurs alike.
Aromas of Vanilla and Banana
When consumers try the liquid, they’re first greeted by aromas of creamy vanilla and fruity banana, which give way to flavors of caramel, apple and baking spices, finishing with lingering hints of spice and warm cinnamon. Whisky lovers attending Bar Convent in Brooklyn, NY on June 11th and 12th are invited to sample Crown Royal newest innovation at booth #8B-832.
Jesse Damashek, Senior Vice President North American Whiskeys at Diageo
“We’re proud to continue our tradition and legacy of trailblazing with the newest addition to our portfolio, Crown Royal Single Malt Canadian Whisky. As a leader in whisky, we’re shaking up the category with this new innovation – defined by our signature smoothness and unique, Canadian origin,” shared Jesse Damashek, Senior Vice President North American Whiskeys at Diageo .”Our take on this single malt is truly distinct, every piece of it tells a story – from its origin and distillation process to its stunning packaging design. Cut from the Canadian cold, this Single Malt offers our consumers a whisky that can be enjoyed on any occasion.”
Ice Sculpture
On Friday, June 7 at 10 AM ET Crown Royal will unveil a one-of-a-kind ice sculpture installation at Lower Manhattan’s Brookfield Place (230 Vesey St, New York, NY), to celebrate the launch. The ice sculpture will slowly melt over 24 hours to reveal the beautiful Crown Royal Single Malt Canadian Whisky bottle. The pop-up ice sculpture is a nod to the icy landscapes paying homage to the home where the liquid is crafted.
