Alberta Distillers Ltd, makers of the No. 1 selling 100% rye whisky in the world1, Alberta® Premium, is proud to announce the return of its highly coveted Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye. The 2022 release of the award-winning* 100% Canadian rye whisky marks the third installment since its introduction to the U.S. in 2020, which is once again available for a limited time starting this month.

Crafted and distilled in Calgary, Alberta, Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye is made from 100% Canadian Prairie rye grains grown by local farmers and distilled with nutrient-dense, glacier fed spring water from the surrounding Rocky Mountains. The liquid is 100% pot distilled and aged in new white oak barrels. The resulting liquid is balanced with unique flavor nuances, including smooth vanilla, black currant, and spice.

"Our cask strength release has continued to capture the attention of whisky enthusiasts globally and is something we're delighted to bring back this year," said George Teichroeb, General Manager of Alberta Distillers. "For distillers like myself, cask strength whiskies are where we get to demonstrate our skill and craftsmanship, as the final product is completely unadulterated. This liquid is a product of that craftsmanship and our ongoing commitment to delivering world-class 100% rye whisky."

The Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye series has won numerous awards* including Double Gold at the 2020 and 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competitions, Double Gold at the 2021 and 2022 SIP Awards, Best All Rye Whisky at the 2021 Canadian Whisky Awards and 1st Place Best Canadian Whisky at the 2021 International Whisky Competition, cementing itself as a leader in the rye whisky subcategory and highlighting superior craftsmanship.

Packaged in eye-catching, faceted glass bottles, Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye will be available in limited quantities in select U.S. markets beginning this month for an SRP of $79.99 for a 750ml bottle. Alberta Premium Cask Strength is best enjoyed neat with a drop of water, on the rocks, and features the following characteristics:

Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye
  • Proof 63.5%
  • Taste: Exceptionally smooth with notes of caramel, vanilla and a hint of chocolate balanced with the spiciness of rye and black currant
  • Finish: Smooth and lingering with the complexity of spice, warm vanilla and dark fruit

Earlier this year, the brand introduced its award-winning core expression, Alberta Premium to the U.S. market for the first time. Alberta Premium continues to set the standard for Canadian whiskies, showcasing exactly how great a true 100% Canadian rye whisky can be.
