Alberta Distillers Ltd announced the return of its highly coveted Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye. The 2022 release of the 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 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, the Premium Cask Strength Rye, bottled at 63.5% ABV, 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.

Earlier this year, the brand introduced its award-winning core expression, Alberta Premium, to the U.S. market for the first time. For more information, visit www.albertadistillers.com.
