OUR PROCESS

The process of making the finest, smoothest Canadian Whisky starts with the finest Canadian ingredients. Roughly 80% of our grain (rye, corn and barley) is sourced from Manitoba and surrounding provinces – resilient natural ingredients that were born to weather the challenging conditions where subzero temperatures are the norm.

Five different recipes (mash bills) and twelve distillation columns produce the individual whiskies that comprise our blends, which are then aged for varying periods of time in either new or re-use charred oak barrels. Our maturing barrels experience extreme temperature swings, the wood’s expansion and contraction slowly adding to the developing character. Once the whiskies have been aged to our blenders’ satisfaction, they are meticulously blended to create the signature rich, smooth, award-winning flavor of Crown Royal.
