Two of Crown Royal's most popular flavored releases together, each arriving in its own signature drawstring bag, which makes this an unusually easy gift to hand over as it is. Both are built on the same foundation: 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 Chocolate is the dessert pour. Whiskies selected by the master blender are infused with rich chocolate flavour, giving a nose of creamy chocolate, fudge and vanilla over light oak, then a velvety palate of milk chocolate, toasted marshmallow and caramel toffee, closing with dark cacao and sweet brown sugar. It is excellent over ice, stirred into coffee or hot chocolate, or used to build a chocolate old fashioned or an espresso martini. Crown Royal Blackberry brings bright fruit instead of cocoa, layering ripe blackberry over the same smooth whisky base for a juicy, jammy profile that works beautifully with lemonade, ginger ale or soda, and makes a very good whisky sour. Both are bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof), which keeps them approachable and mixable rather than heavy. Because flavouring is added, both are labelled as flavoured whisky rather than straight Canadian whisky. Together they cover the two directions Crown Royal's flavoured range tends to go, rich and dessert leaning on one side, fresh and fruity on the other, which makes the pair genuinely useful for parties, holidays and cocktail nights. Both are limited edition releases, so availability is not guaranteed to repeat.
