Crown Royal

[Smurvis]

I was cleaning out my cabinets and found some old liquor my parents had stored away when they lived here:

A bottle of Crown Royal, still sealed (plastic wrap and everything) that is 17+ years old.

A bottle of Disaronno Amaretto that's 1/3rd full, that's about as old.

A box with a bunch of tiny bottles in it with various types of whisky.


I tried to google Crown Royal and can't find anything on it... how much is a bottle of Crown Royal? How much would a 17+ year old bottle be? I could care about the other stuff... but Crown Royal seems to have been a family favorite according to my brother, aunt, dad, etc.

...or should I just wait for a special occasion, crack it open and let the good times roll?

Re: Crown Royal

Save it for a very special occasion.

I prefer Royal Crown to Crown Royal.

Re: Crown Royal

I think I hear of Crown Royal before. I think it suppose to be pretty good. Save it for a raining day. Wikipedia says to add it to Coca-Cola.

Re: Crown Royal

Straight Crown Royal is delicious. Does it still have the excellent little holding sack?

You damn right it does.

Or at least, this particular bottle.



When my Dad moved out, he said he didn't give a rat's arse what I did with the house... but DON'T touch the Crown Royal. I never paid much attention to this, as I didn't even know where it was at the time. I'm gonna ask him about it, and see what's so special about the bottle. Maybe it has some sentimental value to him.

...but it'd better be DAMN sentimental to keep a 17 year old bottle of that stuff sealed.

Crown and Coke are two friends of mine. We need to get re-acquainted.

Re: Crown Royal

Dangit I need to go get drunk with some friends. But first I'll need some friend. You know what never mind, this sounds like a lot of work.

Re: Crown Royal

The tradition of Crown Royal began in 1939 with the first Royal Tour of Canada by reigning British monarchs, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. To mark this historic occasion, Samuel Bronfman, President of the Seagram Company, decided to create a quality whisky to be packaged in a crown-shaped bottle and dressed in a distinctive royal purple bag. -Wikipedia

Re: Crown Royal

My mother drinks Crown Royal by the barrel since she cant down regular beer due to her diet.

My father gets it for a great price (and tax free) at the AAFES at Lackland Air Force Base.

When mixed with apple soda from Mexico, its a great drink.

Re: Crown Royal

i LOVE crown royal! a 17 year old bottle, wow what a treat. it has some value becuase of its age but im not sure how well it does age. id say look for a price to sell or save it for a very special night. its not easy to find old bottles of liqure. he said to hang onto it so maybe its even older then 17 years?

Re: Crown Royal
