Crown Royal, Diageo North America's ‘Crown Jewel' and largest trademark by value, is a brand with extraordinary momentum. Led by a powerful insight that ‘Status is not about what you have, but about what you give and how you give it,' Crown Royal has defied industry and category conventions, celebrating its purpose of Exceptional Generosity in culture and transcending whisky and spirits alike. The result: an industry leading, dynamic and modern luxury brand with a decade years of consistent growth. Since the brand's inception in 1939 as a gift for the King and Queen of England on their first trip to Canada, Crown Royal has always been known as ‘the good stuff.'

Today Crown Royal competes in the highly competitive and rapidly evolving North American Whisky industry that extends across a complex range of segments including Blended Whisky, Flavored Whisky and Luxury Higher Marques.
