Crown Royal has taken the one piece of packaging every whisky drinker recognises, the purple drawstring bag, and handed it to Juicy Couture. The result is the Crown Royal x Juicy Couture collection: velour, rhinestones and three flavour-matched colourways wrapped around Crown Royal Regal Apple, Peach and Blackberry.
The important thing to say up front is that the liquid has not changed. These are the same three flavoured Canadian whiskies already on shelves, all bottled at 35% ABV. What is new is the packaging, a matching apparel line, and a charity commitment. This is a collectible and fashion drop first, and a whisky story second.
What is the Crown Royal x Juicy Couture collection?
The collaboration reworks Crown Royal’s signature bag in Juicy Couture’s early-2000s house style. Each of the three flavoured whiskies gets its own bedazzled velour bag and a matching gift box, in a colourway tied to the flavour: Regal Apple Green, Peach Orange and Blackberry Pink.
Alongside the bottles sit two apparel pieces, the Big Bling Velour Hoodie and matching Track Pants, carried in the same three colours and finished with Crown Royal’s crown and pillow details in rhinestones. Crown Royal is owned by Diageo; Juicy Couture sits under Authentic Brands Group, which frames the tie-up as two brands that both trade on flavour and nostalgia.
James Valdes, Director of Crown Royal, said the flavoured range lets people enjoy Crown Royal in new ways, and called Juicy Couture a natural partner because both brands have long “brought flavour to culture.” Christina Martin-Pieper, EVP Brand at Authentic Brands Group, described the tracksuit as a symbol that has defined fashion and pop culture for over two decades.
What is actually in the bottles
All three are flavoured Canadian whiskies built on the standard Crown Royal base, a blend of more than 50 whiskies distilled at Gimli in Manitoba, then infused with fruit flavour and reduced to 35% ABV. These are sweet, low-strength, mixer-friendly whiskies rather than cask-strength sippers, and they are best judged on those terms.
The tasting notes below are as described by Crown Royal and its retailers. We have not tasted this specific release, so treat these as the brand’s profiles rather than a Daily Whisky verdict on the pour.

Who is Crown Royal, in brief
Crown Royal is the biggest-selling Canadian whisky in the world. It was created in 1939 to mark the tour of Canada by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and the purple bag with gold stitching has been part of its identity ever since. Production is centred at Gimli, on the shore of Lake Winnipeg, and the house style is built on blending across a large stock of Canadian whiskies.
The flavoured line, Regal Apple, Peach, Blackberry, Vanilla, Salted Caramel and others, has become a significant part of the brand’s US business. Regal Apple is the top seller of the group. A Juicy Couture tie-up leans directly into that audience: younger, cocktail-led, and comfortable treating a whisky bottle as a collectible.
The charity angle: $75,000 to RAISEfashion
Crown Royal is committing a $75,000 donation to RAISEfashion, a non-profit that supports independent and underrepresented fashion designers. The brand says 100% of net proceeds from the hoodie and track pants go to the cause, and that $15,000 of the total will fund a designer grant tied to 2026 New York Fashion Week. The donation is being made regardless of how the tracksuits sell.
Crown Royal x Juicy Couture: price and availability
The collectible bottle bags are being sold at select retailers across the US, while the limited-edition tracksuits are available directly at CrownRoyal.com, both while supplies last. The tracksuit window runs from 11 August to 31 December 2026.
For international readers, this is the key caveat: the collaboration is a US drop. Crown Royal’s standard flavoured whiskies do reach some markets outside North America, but the co-branded bags and apparel have not been announced for the UK, Europe or elsewhere. If you want the packaging and you are outside the US, a proxy or reshipping service is currently the realistic route.
Is it worth it?
If you buy this, buy it for what it is: a nostalgia-driven collectible with a genuinely fun piece of packaging and a charitable hook, sitting on top of three easy, sweet, low-strength flavoured whiskies. On that brief, it lands. The velour bag is a better keepsake than a standard purple pouch, the apparel is a real crossover object rather than a token, and the RAISEfashion commitment gives it substance beyond the gimmick.
If you are chasing cask strength, an age statement, or a whisky to nose neat and think about, this is not aimed at you, and it does not pretend to be. Read it as a gift, a display piece, or a base for an apple highball or a blackberry bramble, and it makes complete sense. As a Y2K crossover, it is one of the more giftable whisky drops of the year.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Crown Royal x Juicy Couture collection? It is a limited-edition collaboration announced on 11 August 2026 that pairs Crown Royal Regal Apple, Peach and Blackberry flavoured whiskies with Juicy Couture’s Y2K style. Each whisky comes in a bedazzled velour bag in a flavour-matched colourway, alongside matching velour hoodies and track pants.
What is the difference between the three flavours? All three are 35% ABV flavoured Canadian whiskies on the same Crown Royal base. Regal Apple is crisp and cider-like with caramel and light spice. Peach is the softest and sweetest, close to a peach-schnapps profile. Blackberry is the darkest and most dessert-like, jammy berry with vanilla and light oak.
How much does Crown Royal cost and what is the ABV? Crown Royal’s flavoured whiskies are bottled at 35% ABV (70 US proof) in 750ml, and typically retail in the US around the high-$30s for the standard bottle. The Juicy Couture collectible packaging and the tracksuits are priced separately at select retailers and on CrownRoyal.com; exact pricing varies by retailer.
Where can I buy the Crown Royal x Juicy Couture collection? The collectible bottle bags are at select US retailers nationwide, and the tracksuits are at CrownRoyal.com, both while supplies last, with the apparel window open from 11 August to 31 December 2026. It is a US release; the co-branded bags and apparel have not been announced for the UK or Europe.
Is Crown Royal a Scotch whisky? No. Crown Royal is Canadian whisky, spelled without an “e”, distilled at Gimli in Manitoba and built by blending across more than 50 whiskies. Its flavoured expressions are infusions of that Canadian base, not Scotch, and not single malts.
Does buying the collection support charity? Yes. Crown Royal is donating $75,000 to RAISEfashion, a non-profit supporting independent and underrepresented fashion designers, and says 100% of net proceeds from the hoodie and track pants go to the cause. The donation is being made regardless of tracksuit sales.
