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 arrive in a milestone year for the Calgary distiller, which marks its 80th anniversary in 2026.
According to the announcement, these new expressions capture Alberta Distillers Ltd.'s dedication to craft, with precision in production to strengthen the character of the products and patience in aging. The Alberta Premium Cask Strength 10 Year Old is available now across Western Canada and will launch in Ontario early spring at a suggested retail price of $74.95. Rare Batch Issue No. 2 is also available now across Western Canada, with an Ontario launch planned for late spring at a suggested retail price of $149.95.
The company, which has produced quality whisky for more than 50 years, is one of the few remaining 100% Canadian rye whisky producers in North America. The Alberta Premium brand has a strong focus on heritage and western rural values and has won numerous prestigious awards for its excellent quality.
These releases underscore the growing interest in Canadian rye whisky, particularly among enthusiasts seeking high-proof, aged expressions. The Cask Strength 10 Year Old offers a robust, unadulterated taste, while Rare Batch Issue No. 2 represents a curated blend, likely appealing to collectors and connoisseurs.
