BRAND SUCCESS Crown Royal is the best-selling Canadian whisky in the world and ranks as North America's most valuable whiskey brand. Numerous awards have recognized the brand in the last number of years, most notably Northern Harvest Rye being named 2016 World Whisky of the Year by Jim Murray's Whisky Bible and the Noble Collection Winter Wheat being named Canadian Whisky of the Year at the 2022 Canadian Whisky Awards. Diageo is currently focused on maintaining Crown Royal's strong performance in Canada and the U.S., but as the St. Clair distillery increases production, it will allow the company new opportunities to expand to other markets. Crown Royal was first produced in 1939 by Sam Brofman, president of Seagram Distillery, as a gift for visiting King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The blended rye whiskey and its purple bag packaging set a new standard of excellence for Canadian whiskies and remains one of the most notable success stories in the history of the beverage alcohol industry. When Diageo and Pernod Ricard acquired Seagram's in 2001, Crown Royal and Captain Morgan rumwere added to Diageo's portfolio. Diageo produces over 200 brands of beverage alcohol, and their products are enjoyed by people in more than 180 countries around the world. l ONTARIO GRAIN FARMER 19 JUNE/JULY 2022 The distillery is expected to be operational in 2025 and will have the capacity to produce up to 20 million litres of absolute alcohol or 10.5 million proof gallons each year.
