Alberta Distillers Marks 80th Anniversary with Two New Premium Rye Whisky Releases

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 a significant milestone for the Calgary distiller, which celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2026. These expressions reflect the company’s commitment to craftsmanship, emphasizing precision in production and patience in aging to enhance the character of the products.

The Alberta Premium Cask Strength 10-Year-Old is currently available across Western Canada and will launch in Ontario in early spring with a suggested retail price of $74.95. Rare Batch Issue No. 2 is also available now in Western Canada, with an Ontario release scheduled for late spring at a suggested retail price of $149.95. These limited releases are positioned to appeal to whisky enthusiasts seeking premium, aged expressions from one of North America’s few remaining 100% Canadian rye whisky producers.

Alberta Distillers Ltd., based in Calgary, has produced quality whisky for more than 50 years and is known for its Alberta Premium brand, which emphasizes heritage and western rural values. The brand has earned numerous prestigious awards for its quality. The company operates as part of Suntory Global Spirits, a world leader in premium spirits with a portfolio that includes renowned brands such as Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Yamazaki, and Laphroaig.

The launch of these two expressions underscores Alberta Distillers’ ongoing dedication to rye whisky craftsmanship during a landmark year. As consumer interest in premium and aged spirits continues to grow, these releases highlight the distiller’s ability to innovate while maintaining traditional production methods. The limited availability of both whiskies may drive demand among collectors and connoisseurs, further solidifying the brand’s reputation in the competitive spirits market.
