It was the summer of 2021, and people were going apesh*t for Crown Royal Peach - the peach schnapps flavoured blended whisky was so hotly demanded that Vinepair called it 2021's Unlikeliest Unicorn.

And now the brand that started out as a tribute to the 1939 royal tour of Canada by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, has in store what just might be America's next obsession - Crown Royal Blackberry.

Known for being great bang for buck with a thick, lush texture, Crown Royal's flavoured whiskies have generally always been a big hit for delivering heavy on those flavours that makes it incredibly approachable to enjoy on its own, on the rocks or in a cocktail.

"Our Crown Royal Blackberry Flavored Whisky is a limited edition for the summer season.

To create this extraordinary blend, Crown Royal whiskies are carefully selected by our Master Blender and infused with the juicy flavour of fresh blackberries. The harmonious notes of this summer fruit complement the signature richness of Crown Royal Blended Whisky.

The result is a vibrantly delicious whisky, bursting with the luscious flavour of blackberry and the distinctive smoothness of Crown Royal.

Mix with lemonade for a refreshing tasting cocktail."

The new Crown Royal Blackberry will be made available at 70 Proof (35% ABV), with more details to follow.

Watch out America, Crown Royal's coming at you with some intense blackberries.

Kanpai!
