King George Tupou V of Tonga

The above is depicted as a fictional spokesperson for the beverage since 2007 on the page. I'm fairly certain this is untrue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.52.132.219 (talk) 08:54, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like an advertisement

This looks an aweful lot like an advertisement. The objectivity of this entry seems to be skewed, and needs to be fixed. 70.98.192.57 02:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)sigma[reply]

We can certainly have a conversation about that. I heartily disagree. I have contributed a fair amount of the content and format here, and have no stake nor interest in the advancement of Crown Royal, Diageo, or alcohol or whiskey for that matter. I don't consider this article authoritative, nor exhaustive _ by any stretch _ but it clearly is informational and provides an understanding of the item, its origin, means of production and even a brief overview of some common ways the product is used. Obviously, being an article about a product in current production and for sale, some element of "marketing" could be construed from any positive adjectives. So, if you believe the current text does that, then I'd recommend you have a look at some of the verbiage and correct or replace any adjectives in the text which you think impart an "advertising" quality to the content. - Thaimoss 22:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The entire consumption section reads like an advertisement. I don't know of a whiskey that does not claim to be "smooth," and "classic" and "popular" mixtures (which are nothing more special than rum or tonic) read like ads. 75.73.153.18 01:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because they don't provide details as to what the whiskey tastes like or resembles. Or even what the mash bill looks like, which might give Americans some hint of what to expect... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 16:02, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Trumpet mute usage - references??

I added this to Trivia:

Among trumpet players the velvet Crown Royal bag is well-known as one of a number of possible approaches to a muted trumpet solo in the second movement of Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F.

However, it's difficult to document. I am not sure that it has been written up in a book and I don't think that Gershwin specified it. It's so well-accepted among the trumpet community, though, that it seems wrong not to mention it here. If you Google on something like '+"crown royal" +trumpet +mute' you will find many references to it - but they take it so much as read, as a standard, that they hardly define it - they just say things like "new mute from blah which is better than the standard Crown Royal bag" or whatever. One of those high up such a Google list, for example, is from Jim Olcott, someone whose cred in the trumpet world is unimpeachable. On the other hand, it is not a "proper" reference as I understand Wikipedia likes these days. What do you think? I'd be interested to read your views. Best wishes from a long-dead ex-user 138.37.199.206 09:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. I've seen it used myself, and it seems to be mentioned every so often on brass instrument fora, for instance: [1], [2]. In the second link, there's an offhand mention of an (alas, unnamed) score specifically calling for a "Crown Royal Mute". 2620:0:1000:3003:5813:71C7:B05F:E045 (talk) 19:23, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rum?

It says right at the start of the article that crown royale is a blended rum - what does this mean? is it not whiskey? 24.108.206.194 05:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revision of 14:32, September 23, 2007 by 68.35.224.123 put the "rum" in there. It IS whisky. - Thaimoss 00:04, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dice?

I've noticed that a lot of gamers will tend to use the bag to cary their assorted dice, I feel that this is worth noting somewhere in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.123.42.199 (talk) 23:30, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that was once mentioned here, in the Trivia section, but deleted. I do not think it belongs. While it is an interesting note for some people, it is quite clearly not encyclopedic. Note the Trivia Discourage tag already in the article. - Thaimoss (talk) 15:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cost in U.S. vs. Canada

750 mL is $25.95 in Montreal, Canada, (including all sales taxes).

What is the price of a similar volume in the U.S.? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.211.195.52 (talk) 18:00, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Difficult to compare with the United States, as taxes included in the sale price often include federal, state, and sometimes county or municipal (although seldom, if ever, any sales tax). However, as a point of comparison for your question, in Anne Arundel County and Howard County, Maryland, 750 ml is typically had for US $19.99 and 1.75l for US $39.99 - Thaimoss (talk) 01:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- The CDN$25.95 quoted above is an "all in" price; that is, it includes all federal and provincial taxes of any kind whatsoever. The CDN$25.95 is also in Canadian dollars, but the Canadian dollar has been roughly at parity with the U.S. dollar for more than a month. So judging by the US$19.99 price given above, there is a premium of roughly six dollars attached to Canadian purchases of this product (@750mL). I suggest that this be added to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.211.195.142 (talk) 16:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1.41L is CDN$39.00 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada at the Société des alcools du Québec.

- - - In Los Angeles, Ca a 750mL bottle goes for $20-$25 and a 1.41L goes for $40-$45♣DeathRattle101 A.K.A. LUX♣^verbalize 04:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

incorrect info about production

Crown Royal is solely distilled in Gimli, Manitoba, but it is solely blended (it is a blended whiskey) and bottled in Amherstburg, Ontario (a town outside Windsor, Ontario) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.228.209.208 (talk) 04:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Provide a source for that and it can be added to the article.♣DeathRattle101 AKA LUX♣ (^verbalize _generosity) 07:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will look for something that validates this (other than the fact that I lived in Amherstburg and the Crown Royal bottling plant is right across the street from where I went to grade school).

Kylar (talk) 00:35, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be confirmed in several news reports:

"Crown Royal whisky is distilled in Gimli, but bottled further east, in Amherstburg, Ont. Wayne Hurst, mayor of the southwestern Ontario town - population 22,000, 25 kilometres south of Windsor - says the bottling plant plays an important role in the community. He, too, would like to leave a mark on millions of bottles of booze." [3] and

"The Amherstburg plant blends and bottles the company's top-selling Crown Royal whisky for both domestic and international consumption." [4]

Kylar (talk) 00:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

Famous drinkers of Crown Royal include Norman Breakey, the inventer of the Paint Roller and, now, Hillary Clinton (on April 12-see WPG Free Press on April 18, 2008, p. A2). 17:03, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Suggested separation

In the Current Bottlings section, Crown Royal and Crown Royal Peach are mentioned in the same point. I would suggest putting Crown Royal Peach in its own point. Nutster (talk) 13:22, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It does deserve a separate entry. That placement was part of vandalism, however, and has been removed. oknazevad (talk) 16:40, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
