Crown Royal XR Blue LaSalle Edition is one of the most luxurious and rarest releases in Crown Royal’s portfolio. The “XR” stands for Extra Rare, and this edition is crafted from the last remaining batches of whisky distilled at the now-closed LaSalle distillery in Quebec—a historic facility known for producing whisky with a distinctly floral, smooth character thanks to its unique water source and climate.
Encased in a striking blue presentation box and elegant decanter-style bottle, XR Blue is not just a whisky—it’s a piece of Canadian distilling history. Meticulously blended for richness, balance, and refinement, it offers a regal sipping experience reserved for special occasions.
Available now at Whiskey Caviar, Crown Royal XR Blue is a rare gem for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
