The following film is based on the true origin story of Crown Royal Canadian Whisky. In 1939, the King and Queen of England made the country’s first royal visit to Canada. In response to this historic event, some Canadian whisky-makers decided to create the perfect gift for King George VI. In this film, we see the extraordinary lengths they endured, including the 599 failed attempts, all to make the one perfectly smooth blended whisky worthy of a king. Crown Royal. The One Made For A King.
