From the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, Alberta Distillers Ltd. introduced Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old, crafted with 100 per cent Canadian rye grain and aged for nine years, this release showcases the full character and complexity of a matured rye. Made using local Canadian ingredients combined with meticulous crafting, Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old launched across Canada in July.
At the core of Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old is an aging process that draws on three distinct barrel styles – new white oak, ex-bourbon and ex-Canadian whisky casks. This layered maturation process results in richness, spice and nuance, allowing the rye grain to shine while evolving into a smooth finish. Distilled and crafted with locally grown rye, this premium whisky reveals what time, terroir and triple-barrel aging can truly offer.
With a 45 per cent ABV, Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old delivers a dynamic profile where aromas of caramel, subtle leather and a whisper of coconut lead into a palate rich with raisin and molasses. The finish is where this expression truly shines; sweet, yet laced with signature rye spice, it lingers with smoothness and layered warmth. This release is a tribute to the golden hues of the Prairies, the precision of Canadian whisky-making and the pursuit of a smoother, more refined rye experience. Proudly crafted from grain to glass in Canada, made with 100 per cent Canadian-grown rye, distilled and bottled on Canadian soil, Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old is a celebration of homegrown excellence.
