More than 50 of Crown Royal’s finest whiskies have been assembled by Master Blender Andrew MacKay into the new Crown Royal XO, an ultra-premium blended Canadian whisky, finished in cognac casks from the French Limousin Forest.
Due to the brand’s great craftsmanship and history – the whisky was originally created to commemorate a grand tour of Canada made by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain in 1939 – Crown Royal has often been referred to as a noble spirit. MacKay pays homage to this distinguished tradition with his handcrafted approach to creating the Crown Royal XO blend.
“The ultra-premium nature Crown Royal XO and the smoothness of the liquid can be attributed to the handcrafted approach we took while creating the unique blend,” said MacKay.
