Alberta Distillers Limited has launched the Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old, a new expression that highlights the brand's commitment to quality and innovation in Canadian whisky. This premium whisky, crafted with 100 per cent Canadian rye grain and aged for nine years, represents a significant addition to the Canadian whisky landscape, offering a unique tasting experience that combines richness, spice, and smoothness.
The Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old is the result of a meticulous aging process that utilizes three distinct barrel styles: new white oak, ex-bourbon, and ex-Canadian whisky casks. This innovative approach to maturation allows the rye grain to develop a complex profile, with aromas of caramel, subtle leather, and a hint of coconut, leading to a palate rich with raisin and molasses, and a finish that is sweet yet spicy. With a bold 45 per cent ABV, this whisky is a testament to the craftsmanship and heritage of Canadian rye whisky.
Deepti Gurkar, Senior Director – National Marketing Canada and Global Canadian Brands at Suntory Global Spirits, emphasizes the significance of this launch, stating, Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old represents the essence of Canadian craftsmanship, elevating it with a complex, layered whisky experience. This release is a celebration of what makes Canadian rye whisky so exceptional - bold flavour, rich heritage, and our continued commitment to innovation.
Available across Canada starting July, with a suggested retail price of $37.95 per 750ml bottle, the Alberta Premium Golden Rye 9 Year Old is poised to attract both whisky enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Its launch not only underscores the enduring appeal of 100 per cent rye whisky but also highlights Alberta Distillers Limited's role as a pioneer in the Canadian whisky industry.
