Crown Royal is a Canadian Rye Whisky, not a bourbon.
I am sipping on a Crown Royal Salted Carmel as I type.

@JD Jones ... The palate of dominicans goes more into dry/bitter whiskies:
- JB, Johnnie, Chivas, Something, OldParr, Buchanan's...
- There once upon a time that Dewars was the king in sales nationwide.
Another factor: CR doesn't have a wide distribution nationwide compared to the brands above.
Another factor: Dominicans consider the brands above as premium whiskies. The "fronteo effect".
The hype for JB Blue Label into mainstream is higher than a Glenlivet, Macallan or a CR.
Strange comment about the Dominican having no palate. Reading all the posts you posted in this thread you started, seems your opinion has changed on the Dominican palate.
Dominicans that I have shared my JD BIB with and they are rare as it is part of my "private reserve". Have all enjoyed it. Looked for it. Have not been able to find it. Have asked me to bring them a bottle. I always say no. You can only buy 2 liters when you enter through SDQ. My JD BIB is only for me. I don't even 🤬 with old No. 7 anymore. That is a universal opinion that everyone who tastes my JD BIB develops along with me.
Bourbon in the Dominican Republic is rare. It is also expensive. Makes no sense to since it major in the United States of America. The United States is so close. But it also makes no sense to me that you cannot get good Tequila in the Dominican Republic as it is even closer to Mexico. They speak Spanish there too.

All of those are about status except for Something.
Something is for those that cannot afford something better.
I think the tag line is: At least it is something!
Does not matter what the juice in the bottle is like.
Exactly, because of the cost of the bottle. That makes it rare thus implies status.
Never even tasted the JW Blue Label. Is it any good?
Not really a Scotch man myself.
“Bourbon in the Dominican Republic is rare. It is also expensive. Makes no sense to since it major in the United States of America.”
Why would you drink Bourbon when real whiskey is available.
Come over to Europe. The only Bourbon you will find is Jack Daniels, new old stock mostly.
I prefer the cheapest Islay over a Bourbon.
I'll never understand that one. Glenlivet and Macallan are up there with some of the best.
I can ask you the same thing.
Why would you not have real whisky (Bourbon) it it was available to you?
I prefer the cheapest young Bourbon (3 years) 610 DOP to an Islay.
I keep Scotch in my shelf for those who don't know any better.
It really would help if you lived in DR since you wanna be an expert on everything DR related. Where have you been looking for tequila? A butcher shop? Go to any larger liquor store and you'll find wide variety of tequilas, unless you're looking for something very limited that can only be found withing a 100 miles radius of the brewery that makes it 😒
I did not say I could not buy Tequila.
I said I cannot get what is in my opinion good Tequila in the Dominican Republic.

Those who seek status drink Patron.
If you care about the juice in the bottle, you sip on:
Fortaleza Blanco – Tequila Fortaleza Tequila Fortaleza

It is available all over USA and in Mexico.
Last time I checked the Dominican Republic was right next to both.
Last time I checked Dominican Republic was right next to Haiti, and USA and Mexico are right next to each other, and there's 10s of millions of Mexicans residing in USA so maybe that's one of the reasons you can find wide varieties of tequilas all over the USA? Geez I wonder why can't I find as many brands of Russian vodka in Japan as I can in Belarus, they're right next to each other?
Maybe you should start over with a fresh username again, you've become the ridicule of DR1. Maybe try "TheExpertOnEverythingDR"?
More thoughts on Tequila in the Dominican Republic
Lack of supply, even taking into account container logistics, is due more to drinking habits, preferences and the types and brands distributors decide to stock. It has NOTHING do with my user name. Using the logic proffered here by some individuals if it was a simple matter of distance then Scotch would not be so popular in the Dominican Republic given the distance that the juice in the bottle must travel in order to reach the shelves of the stores in the Dominican Republic.
Given the popularity of things "USA" in the Dominican Republic I am surprised Bourbon (which is a whisky) is not more popular here. I have found it is more of a lack of exposure. As the Dominicans I have shared my JD BIB with have all enjoyed it. Even told me they looked for it afterwards and could not find it.
When my friends are over and shown the bar, no one has ever picked Tequila as the sipper for the night. It is looked upon more as a party drink. In that case dredge sold in the stores are technically Tequila. But I wouldn't even use most of the brands in a cocktail. I would be embarrassed to serve it to anyone.
