Crown Royal Bourbon Mash Blended Canadian Whisky is a unique expression that bridges the gap between Canadian whisky tradition and classic American bourbon style. Part of Crown Royal’s sought-after “Blenders’ Series,” this release uses a mash bill featuring a high percentage of corn, rye, and malted barley—mimicking the grain makeup of bourbon while still being produced and aged under Canadian regulations. Although it can’t legally be labeled "bourbon," it offers a rich, bourbon-like profile that stands out in the Crown lineup.
Available now at Whiskey Caviar, Crown Royal Bourbon Mash is a smooth, flavorful whisky perfect for bourbon lovers and curious sippers alike.

FAQ:
1. Is this actual bourbon?
No. While it uses a bourbon-style mash bill, it’s made and aged in Canada—so it can’t legally be called bourbon.
2. How does it differ from regular Crown Royal?
Bourbon Mash is richer and more corn-forward, with a flavor profile that leans more toward classic American whiskey.
3. Is this a limited release?
Yes, it was originally released as part of the Blenders’ Series and may be harder to find as supplies dwindle.
