Crown Royal Marquis is a Canadian whisky crafted in Gimli, Manitoba, and finished in fine Caribbean rum casks, bringing a warm, indulgent twist to the house’s signature smoothness. Bottled at 40% alcohol by volume, this expression layers classic Crown Royal character with subtle rum-kissed richness, making it both familiar and intriguingly different on the shelf.
On the nose, generous aromas of honey, brown sugar, and vanilla rise first, followed by a soft sweetness that hints at its rum cask finish. The palate is balanced and silky, revealing notes of ripe date and fig woven into gentle oak and caramelized sugar, all built on a blend of carefully selected Canadian grains.
The finish is long, mellow, and unmistakably Crown Royal. Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its depth, on the rocks for a softer sip, or as a refined upgrade to whisky-forward cocktails that welcome a touch of natural sweetness.
