Alberta Premium is a Canadian rye whisky produced at Alberta Distillers, located in Calgary, Alberta. Introduced in 1958, the brand was pioneered by a group of Prairie boys who set out to create a distinctly Canadian spirit using 100% rye grain sourced from the prairies, combined with pristine water drawn from the Rocky Mountains. Over the decades, Alberta Distillers has grown into one of Canada's largest buyers of rye grain, cementing its place at the heart of Canadian whisky tradition. What truly sets Alberta Premium apart is its unwavering commitment to 100% rye mash bills — a rarity in the whisky world and a defining characteristic of its bold, spicy, and full-flavoured style. The distillery markets the Alberta Premium label alongside Alberta Springs, offering a focused portfolio rooted in authentic rye character. Originally available only in Canada, the brand has since expanded into international markets, including the United States, where it was launched following the release of its acclaimed cask strength expression. Alberta Premium holds the remarkable distinction of being the number one selling 100% rye whisky in the world, according to the 2021 IWSR Drinks Market Analysis, as reported by Forbes. This achievement reflects decades of consistency, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for prairie grain traditions that have made Alberta Premium a benchmark for rye whisky lovers around the globe.
