Crown Royal made this as their 75th anniversary, one time release, to celebrate a visit by British royalty. Only available in the US...not sure the logic behind that though. I would've thought at least they'd have this available in Canada as well. This isn't bad...just not quite up to par to their Hand Selection (good), or Noble Collection (better). This felt like a watered down version of their Noble Collection. Less flavor, less oomph, less of everything except the price tag. Save your money, and go for one of those instead.
