This bottling of a Crown Royal blended whiskey was still produced in the old Waterloo distillery in 1982. Crown Royal was created in 1939 in honour of the visit of the British King George VI and is now the most famous Canadian whiskey in the world.
Waterloo Distillery was a distillery in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, which was founded in 1857. In 1869, Joseph E. Seagram joined as a partner and took over the distillery completely in 1883. Seagrams closed the distillery in 1990 and a fire destroyed large parts of it in 1993.
Canadian whiskies are usually blends, they are matured for at least 3 years, but mostly for 6 to 8 years. Unlike in the USA, the composition of the mash is not specified, although most of it is exported to the USA.
