Alberta Distillers Releases Limited-Edition Batch 10 Legacy Reserve Whisky Following Prestigious Award Wins

Alberta Distillers Ltd., recognized as the 'Distillery of the Decade' at the 2020 Canadian Whisky Awards, has announced the release of Alberta Premium Batch 10 Legacy Reserve, a limited-edition whisky representing a significant milestone in the company's commitment to producing high-quality Canadian rye whisky. This meticulously crafted blend spans liquids from 2001 to 2010, with each year's whisky hand-selected to create what the distillery describes as the smoothest expression possible, highlighting unique taste profiles that emerged over this ten-year period.

The release gains importance as Canadian whisky continues gaining recognition in the global spirits market, with Alberta Distillers Ltd. standing as one of the few remaining 100 percent Canadian rye whisky producers in North America. The exceptional quality has already secured prestigious accolades, including a Gold medal at the 2024 International Spirits Challenge (ISC) and a Double Gold at the 2024 SIP Awards, serving as testament to the distillery's commitment to excellence.

For whisky enthusiasts and collectors, the limited availability adds significant allure, with the distillery confirming this as a one-time release available across Canada in fall 2024. This exclusivity positions the release as a potential collector's item while catering to growing consumer interest in premium and craft spirits, particularly in the whisky category where discerning drinkers increasingly seek unique, high-quality expressions.

The creation aligns with Alberta Distillers' long-standing focus on heritage and western rural values, honoring the distillery's more than 50-year history while reinforcing its leadership position in the Canadian spirits industry. As part of the Suntory Global Spirits portfolio, the distillery benefits from association with a world leader in premium spirits, evident in this release joining a prestigious lineup of global brands.

For the Canadian whisky industry, this premium domestic product demonstrates the capability to compete at the highest global levels, potentially opening doors for increased international recognition and market share. As Alberta Distillers builds on its 'Distillery of the Decade' reputation, Batch 10 Legacy Reserve sets a high bar for future releases while honoring the distillery's past achievements in Canadian whisky production.
