Crown Royal vs Jack Daniel’s: What’s the Difference?

by

Updated April 2026.

These are two 40%-class whiskeys from different countries. Crown Royal Deluxe has printed 40% on prior official nutrition and SAQ tiles if your bottle differs. Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 is 40% Alc. by Vol. (80 proof) on Brown-Forman’s current US product-info sheet. A 1.5-ounce pour of either flagship is one NIAAA drink. This is not a 2022 winner.

Canadian whisky and Tennessee whiskey are different legal classes. Related: Crown Royal, Jack proof, Canadian whisky.
