Crown Royal takes its name from the historic event that took place in 1939 when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth became the first reigning monarchs to journey across North America. At the time, a Canadian entrepreneur crafted a special whisky so that the King and Queen could enjoy it in their private rail car. Today, they craft their whisky in Gimli, Manitoba, using the finest Canadian ingredients. The Noble Collection is a series of whisky that pays tribute to the brand's history and roots, namely the part that King George VI played in the creation of the whiskey. Crown Royal Barley Edition is the 7th and final release in the series. It's a premium blended Canadian whisky that was distilled from the finest barley, matured for at least 10 years, and bottled at 90 proof. The signature Crown Royal smoothness is there, along with toasted oak, malt, barley, and vanilla, leading to a pleasantly warming finish.

Blue Spot's name was derived from the Mitchell's practice of marking their maturing casks of whiskey with a mark or daub of coloured paint to determine the age potential of the whiskey. Blue Spot was a 7 year old whiskey, Green Spot (10 year old), Yellow Spot (12 Year Old) and Red Spot (15 year old). As a colourful history would have it, this revered Blue Spot remained underground until now and its introduction reunites the historical Spot Family for the first time in over 56 years. Embodying the unmistakable qualities of Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Blue Spot is matured for no less than 7 years in Bourbon casks, Sherry butts and Portuguese Madeira casks all bottled at cask strength for you to enjoy!
