Crown Royal is a blended Canadian whisky brand created by Seagram and owned by Diageo since 2000. It is the top-selling brand of Canadian whisky in the United States. The production of Crown Royal uses 10,000 bushels of rye, corn and barley daily, which is sourced from Manitoba and surrounding provinces, and requires 750,000 imperial gallons (3,400,000 l; 900,000 US gal) of water naturally filtered through the limestone beneath the lake.
