All about Crown Royal
Crown Royal is the largest-selling brand of Canadian Whisky in the United States. On a daily basis, the production of Crown Royal consumes over 900k gallons of water and 10k bushels of grain. The standing inventory is more than 2 million barrels of Whisky aging in 50 warehouses, spread out over five acres. It is a blend of over 50 Canadian Whiskies that are carefully selected and balanced to maintain their signature, clean-drinking style. Since so many spirits are blended to flavor, stating an exact age or mash bill is just not possible. But look for flavors of oak, vanilla, and fresh cream.

All about Crown Royal distillery
The Gimli Distillery is a production monster. It is definitely NOT a quaint, picturesque craft shop. This place means business, producing upwards of 1000 barrels of spirit per day — that’s 53,000 gallons of Whiskey per day, or nearly 97 million bottles per year. There are forty-six storage warehouses with a continual stock of 1.4 million barrels. Just think about that for a moment. 90% of the production goes into Crown Royal — one of the most popular brands of Canadian Whisky made today. This is why the facility is sometimes called the “Crown Royal Gimli Distillery.” But quality is strictly maintained. A recent release of Crown Royal — the Northern Harvest Rye — was named World Whisky of the Year. The distillery was opened in 1968, and has undergone several expansions, remodels, and automation improvements over the years. The entire operation is owned and operated by industry giant Diageo.Distillery info
