Crown Royal Single Malt Whisky

Canadian whisky is best known for blends, so a single malt from Canada is a welcome detour, and this one makes a good case for it. Made from malted barley and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it pours amber and leads with rich oak, warm baking spice and vanilla, then settles into dried fruit, caramel and a honeyed sweetness over a smooth, lingering finish. It suits the Crown Royal drinker curious about what the house does with malt, and the single malt fan who wants a Canadian reference point alongside Scotch and Irish bottles. It carries no age statement, so it is best judged in the glass rather than on the label, and judges have liked what they found: it took Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in both 2024 and 2025. We carry it because it is approachable enough for a first single malt, rewarding enough to sip neat with a few drops of water, and sturdy enough to stand up in a ginger ale highball.
