Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye is a unique whiskey blend crafted from 90 percent rye mash whisky. Canadian rye grain is planted in the fall, sprouting until it is covered by a blanket of soft winter snow. Once this snow melts, the rye completes its growth, maturing over the spring and summer. This distinctive growth cycle creates the perfect grain for this deliciously balanced whisky, extraordinarily smooth with hints of fruit, cloves and spice.
