Well it's been quite a while since the last whiskey weekly but things have been fairly busy around the offices. This week we bring it back to Canadian shores with a classic. I'm talking, of course, about Crown Royal. This is one of my favourite types of rye whiskey out there and I always enjoy getting sauced with it. It was originally created in 1939 for the royal tour of Canada by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. It is because of this reason that the bottle was made specially to look like a crown and comes in a royal purple bag. Today there is only one distillery that produces this brew of the gods, and it's located on the shores of lake Winnipeg. Down to business, this whiskey is good... damn good. It even had a song written about it..

Royal Canadian blended
The spicy aroma had mended me
Matured for years and imported
Into my glass you poured it
(guess the British band..)

It's definitely one of those whiskey's that you shouldn't mix, it really is that good. If you're one of those pussies who can't tolerate straight whiskey than don't waste money on good stuff. However, to those people who like to have a glass or three of whiskey on the rocks, than Crown is for you.

For every king, a crown.
