According to nutritional data, a standard 1.5-ounce shot of regular Crown Royal Canadian Whisky contains zero grams of sugar. This is because the distillation process removes sugars and carbohydrates from the fermented grain mash, leaving behind only the alcohol and water. This makes the original, unflavored Crown Royal a sugar-free option for many drinkers, though the same cannot be said for all of its flavored counterparts.

Canadian whisky is a blended spirit, and unlike American bourbon or rye, it has more flexibility with its grain ingredients. This leads many to wonder, is Crown Royal made from wheat, or is it a more complex recipe? The answer is that while the flagship blend primarily uses corn, rye, and barley, some special editions do feature wheat prominently.
