The holiday season is nearly upon us once again. And as we start to think about the gifts we’ll be purchasing for the special people in our lives, it’s important to consider what truly makes for a good present. For us, the pinnacle of generosity involves a combination of thoughtfulness, superior quality and, perhaps above all, scarcity — nothing better than a gift they’re not making any more of, right? Which is why we think Crown Royal XR is so noteworthy. Handcrafted from a blend of whiskies from the famous LaSalle distillery and featuring rich notes of dried fruits, honey, cocoa and an intriguing spiciness, XR is also produced in extremely limited quantities. Meaning once it’s gone, it’s gone. And that’s what makes it all the more special. (Please Drink Responsibly. CROWN ROYAL XR Blended Canadian Whisky. 40% Alc/Vol. The Crown Royal Company, Norwalk, CT.)
