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

Alberta Distillers Limited has announced the launch of the Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old, a new expression that underscores the brand's commitment to quality and innovation in Canadian whisky. This premium whisky, crafted from 100 per cent Canadian rye grain and aged for nine years, embodies the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Canadian whisky-making. The Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old is set to captivate whisky enthusiasts with its complex flavor profile and smooth finish, marking a significant addition to the Canadian whisky landscape.

The distinctive character of the Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old is achieved through a meticulous aging process that utilizes three types of barrels: new white oak, ex-bourbon, and ex-Canadian whisky casks. This innovative approach enhances the whisky's richness, spice, and nuance, offering a tasting experience that is both bold and refined. With an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 45 per cent, the whisky presents a dynamic profile featuring aromas of caramel, subtle leather, and 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 2025, the Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old will be offered at a suggested retail price of $37.95 per 750ml bottle. This release not only caters to seasoned whisky aficionados but also invites newcomers to explore the depth and diversity of Canadian rye whisky. The Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old stands as a testament to the artistry and tradition of Canadian whisky-making, promising a memorable tasting experience that reflects the golden hues of the prairies and the precision of its craft.
