Alberta Distillers Limited Unveils Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old, Showcasing Canadian Whisky Excellence

Alberta Distillers Limited has launched the Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old, a new whisky expression that embodies the rich heritage and innovation of Canadian whisky-making. This premium whisky, crafted with 100 per cent Canadian rye grain and aged for nine years, offers a complex flavor profile that is a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

The Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old undergoes a meticulous aging process in three distinct barrel styles: new white oak, ex-bourbon, and ex-Canadian whisky casks. This unique approach enhances the whisky's richness, spice, and nuance, resulting in a smooth finish that showcases the full character of the rye grain. With a bold 45 per cent ABV, the whisky presents aromas of caramel, subtle leather, and a hint of coconut, leading to a palate rich with raisin and molasses, and a finish that balances sweetness with signature rye spice.

Deepti Gurkar, Senior Director – National Marketing Canada and Global Canadian Brands at Suntory Global Spirits, emphasizes the significance of this release, stating, Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old represents the essence of Canadian craftsmanship, elevating it with a complex, layered whisky experience. This launch celebrates the bold flavor, rich heritage, and innovation that define Canadian rye whisky.

Available across Canada starting July, with a suggested retail price of $37.95 per 750ml bottle, the Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old invites whisky enthusiasts and newcomers alike to explore the depth and finesse of Canadian rye whisky. This release not only underscores Alberta Distillers Limited's mastery in whisky production but also reinforces the global appeal of Canadian whisky.
