Three sides of Crown Royal in one set, each bottle arriving in its own drawstring bag, which makes this an easy gift to hand over as it is. All three are built on the blended Canadian whisky produced at the Gimli Distillery on the shores of Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, a brand created in 1939 to honour the visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the first reigning British monarchs to tour Canada. Crown Royal Marquis is the whisky purist's pick here, and the only unflavoured bottle in the set. It takes the signature blend of corn, rye and malted barley and finishes it in fine Caribbean rum casks, which brings honey, brown sugar and vanilla to the nose, then a velvety palate of fig, date and molasses before a smooth close of soft oak and baking spice. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), it sits a notch richer than standard Crown Royal without losing the house smoothness. Crown Royal Chocolate goes in the dessert direction, infusing selected whiskies with rich chocolate flavour for a nose of creamy chocolate, fudge and vanilla, then velvety milk chocolate, toasted marshmallow and caramel toffee, finishing on dark cacao. Crown Royal Blackberry brings bright fruit instead, layering ripe blackberry over the same smooth base for a juicy, jammy profile. Both flavoured bottles are 35% ABV (70 proof) and mix beautifully, Chocolate with coffee or hot chocolate, Blackberry with lemonade or soda. Together the three cover a proper whisky, a dessert pour and a fruit pour, which makes this an unusually versatile set for parties, holidays and cocktail nights, and a generous gift for anyone who already likes the brand.
