Crown Royal
The One Made For a King
The untold epic tale of the one whisky made for a king.
Crown Royal had a royal problem: small craft whiskey had encroached on its marketshare. To reclaim the thrown and rebuild its credibility for craft, my partner and I unearthed its authentic origin (before leaving the agency) — an epic tale of a small distillery crafting the perfect gift for King George VI.
















Some was made. Some was not. We loved all, all the same.
