Oh, yeah - Crown Royal is available in the US.
Completely non-word-related story: I knew someone who worked at a liquor store, and he was kind enough to save the bags for me when they sent orders out to large-scale clients (hotels, bars, etc). I cut the drawstring casing and the bag bottom off of each of them, slit them up the back, and sewed a whole bunch of the resulting rectangles together into yardage. Consequently, I have a bomber-style jacket made entirely of Crown Royal bags.
I got so many compliments and comments about it, I decided to design a whole line of clothing (never mind that the flannel used to produce these bags is *very* low quality - nowhere near garment quality). So I did the best watercolors of my life in rendering these designs... pajamas, strapless evening gown, smoking jacket, I don't remember what all else. I did my research about who in the company was in charge of their advertising campaigns, and sent them off to him. I made many many follow-up calls, but nothing ultimately came of it.I had sent a self-addressed stamped envelope for the return of the original sketches, but I never got them back. I did the Quiz Show trick of mailing copies to myself, but they're just B&W xeroxes, pale imitations of the originals, and they're in a sealed envelope in a safety deposit box! At least I kept my interests protected in the event that they liked the idea and weren't willing to pay me for it!
