Alberta Distillers Ltd., an award-winning leader in 100% prairie rye whisky, has introduced two new limited-edition expressions: Alberta Premium Cask Strength 10 Year Old and Rare Batch Issue No. 2. The releases coincide with the Calgary distiller's 80th anniversary in 2026, underscoring its commitment to precision in production and patience in aging.
Alberta Premium Cask Strength 10 Year Old is a robust rye whisky bottled at cask strength, offering enthusiasts an unfiltered taste of the distillery's craftsmanship. It is available now across Western Canada, with an Ontario launch expected in early spring at a suggested retail price of $74.95. Rare Batch Issue No. 2, the second installment in a series of small-batch releases, features a blend of carefully selected rye whiskies aged for a minimum of 10 years. It is priced at $149.95 and will be available in Ontario later in the spring.
These new expressions highlight Alberta Distillers' dedication to producing 100% Canadian rye whisky, a tradition that has earned the distillery numerous awards. The company's focus on heritage and western rural values is reflected in the Alberta Premium brand, which has become synonymous with quality and authenticity in the whisky industry.
