Crown Royal Winter Wheat 45% alc/vol
Crown Royal Wins Canadian Whisky Awards 2022
Tasting Crown Royal Noble Collection Winter Wheat (45% alc/vol)
Hugely complex with the sweet vanilla softness of wheat, nutty barley, and the elegance of corn. Rich in dried dark fruits, chocolate-covered bananas, and sweet pipe tobacco with a punch of spice and distinctly crisp barrel tones. Simply glorious.
EXPERTS RECOGNIZE CANADA’S BEST WHISKY
OTTAWA, ON, Jan. 13, 2022 /- Nine independent whisky experts have named Crown Royal Nobel Collection Winter Wheat, Canada’s best whisky and Canadian Whisky of the Year at the twelfth annual Canadian Whisky Awards.
From among well over 150 Canadian whiskies tasted, Crown Royal also took top honours for Best Blended Whisky and Sippin’ Whisky of the Year.
“This is a truly stunning whisky,” said Davin de Kergommeaux, head judge and founder of the awards. “Incredibly complex, flavourful and well-balanced.”
Diageo Global Supply - Gimli is the 2022 Distillery of the Year, while Crown Royal blender, Joanna Zanin Scandella was acknowledged for Lifetime Achievement.
Canada’s Most Popular Whisky - BY A Mile!
“The judges’ results are confirmed every day on liquor store shelves across North America and around the world,” said de Kergommeaux. “Crown Royal invented the way Canadians blend whisky and it is Canada’s most popular whisky by far. Consumers buy more per year than the next 6 brands combined.”
The winning whisky was distilled at Diageo Global Supply distillery in Gimli, Manitoba, and blended in Diageo’s blending lab in Montreal.
The Canadian Whisky Awards, held annually since 2010, recognize the very best Canadian whiskies and encourage distillers to maintain the highest quality standards. To qualify, the whisky must be distilled and matured in Canada. An independent panel of whisky experts selects the winners after tasting each whisky blind. Operated on a not-for-profit basis, the Canadian Whisky Awards are fully independent of the Canadian whisky industry.
