Crown Royal Special Reserve Whisky Bottle with Purple Bag

1992 to 1999

Crown Royal Special Reserve was first released in 1992. The Whisky was blended from specifically selected barrels containing unique characteristics and was allowed to age longer than average to produce a more specialized flavour. This Crown Royal Special Reserve bottle is part of the 1st edition, which ran from 1992 to 1999. The bottle is stamped with a November 22nd, 1991, production date, meaning it was part of the initial production run before Seagram released the brand to the public. The 2nd edition ran between 2000 and 2007 and featured purple crowns on the bottle cap.
