Alberta Distillers Limited

Our Story

The home
of canadian whisky

Our products are steeped in the same philosophy that built our distillery: the best products start with the best ingredients, and they don’t need to cost a fortune. In fact, when Alberta Distillers Limited was built back in 1946, it was built on the belief that ranch hands deserved to drink great whisky at a great price, and we still stand by that.

100% rye whisky

We stand by the
craftsmen

We stand by the craftsmen who were daring enough to believe 100% rye whisky was worth making decades before anyone else, and bold enough to state the best grains and water in the world are right here in Alberta.

Great Spirit

supporting local
farmers

The only thing better than the taste of our incredibly smooth and delicious spirits is the fact that they’re made with locally-sourced, high-quality ingredients. Every batch is carefully crafted alongside local farmers, telling the story of Alberta’s robust flavours and agricultural history. Supporting our communities and farmers is a part of our provenance, and continues to be at the heart and soul of every one of our products.

Origins

You may have seen our products all across Canada, from Tofino, British Columbia to our home in Calgary, Alberta, and all the way to St. John’s, Newfoundland, so we are proud that our products are born from the best in Canadian prairie grains, grown by farmers who have worked with us for decades. These grains are carefully blended with water fed from the snow capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains to produce our award-winning liquids and their signature profiles.

We use one of three distillation processes to create our products, but the heart of who we are is our unique ability to distill with one hundred percent rye grains, and to this day remain one of the only distilleries who can create the bold and spicy flavour of a 100% rye whisky. Add our popular vodkas, distilled from Alberta wheat and chill-filtered for maximum smoothness, and we have an award-winning collection.
