Alberta Distillers is probably (almost certainly) the greatest producer of Rye Whisky in the world. The distillery may be more a workhorse than a show pony, but the whisky produced here in the heart of Calgary is surprisingly beautiful and elegant. While the standard 40% Alberta Premium is a great 'every day' sort of drop, this Cask Strength version is on an entirely different level. It's big, bold and bombastic. It's also a near perfect example of what pristine Rye Whisky can be. Batch 4.

750ml mlProducer Tasting Note
Aroma: sweet, woody, and oaky with a hint of vanilla. Taste: exceptionally smooth with notes of caramel, vanilla and a hint of chocoalte balanced with the spiciness of rye and black currant. Finish: smooth and lingering with the complexity of spice, warm vanilla and dark fruit that keeps you coming back for more.

Bottled at 45.9%, This whisky from Wild Life is made with 88% Rye and 12% Malted Barley and matured for at least 3.5 years.
Producer Description
"Rye is the quintessential Canadian Whisky grain. This flavour forward grain is often hidden and underrepresented in the big brand rye whiskies on the market. Wild Life Rye Whisky on the other hand, does not shy away from flavour. This spirit shows wonderful notes of nutmeg, fig, green grass and spice notes. This is Alberta Craft Whisky at its finest, and we are pleased to share it with you!"

The flagship Whisky from Alberta Distillers, which itself was founded in 1946. Alberta Premium has been a ubiquitous bottle in this province and others since it was first launched back in 1958. Made right here in Calgary, Alberta, this 100% Rye is priced like a bar rail whisky but is also quite a good whisky. It is a good introduction to what Alberta Distillers is capable of. 40%.
