Crown Royal Marquis Canadian Whisky

Crown Royal Marquis is a limited release from the Crown Royal family, blending high-rye and creamy corn whiskies into a refined Canadian whisky with sweet vanilla, toasted oak, and a gentle spice finish.

Aged in carefully selected barrels and bottled at 80 proof, Marquis sits a notch above the standard Crown Royal Deluxe in richness and barrel character, with a slightly spicier, more layered finish. It’s an easy-drinking yet polished pour — equally at home sipped neat, served over ice, or built into a classic whisky cocktail.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Crown Royal Marquis different from Crown Royal Deluxe?

Marquis carries a slightly richer barrel character and a spicier, more layered finish than the standard Deluxe, with more pronounced toasted oak and baking spice. Deluxe is the everyday flagship; Marquis is a more refined, limited expression aimed at drinkers who want a step up in complexity while keeping Crown Royal’s signature smoothness.

Is Crown Royal Marquis a limited edition?

Yes. Marquis is a limited release produced in smaller quantities, and availability can vary regionally and over time. Because of that, it appeals both to Crown Royal collectors and to anyone looking for a more distinctive bottle for a gift or special occasion.

How should I drink Crown Royal Marquis?

It’s smooth enough to enjoy neat or over ice, and refined enough to elevate a classic whisky cocktail like an Old Fashioned or Whisky Sour. The vanilla-and-spice profile makes it a versatile choice for both sipping and mixing.
