Alberta Premium WORLD WHISKEY OF THE YEAR We were hanging out at our usual spot, Davidoff of Geneva in Tampa, FL. Tommy is the whiskey guru there, and he brought out a bottle of Alberta Premium for us to try. What is it? Alberta Premium is a 100% rye whiskey distilled in Calgary, Alberta, laying just west of the Canadian meridian. Normally, Canadian whiskies can be identified by their lighter color and their more subtle and delicate flavor. However, this release is bold, full of caramel spice, and has a deep and rich flavor that is sure to delight. This pour was something that I wasn't quite expecting, but it was something I was sure glad I ended up trying.
Alberta Premium Whiskey 100% Prairie Rye Mash Bill Rocky Mountain Spring Water Distilled in Calgary, Alberta Aged for 5+ years Made by Beam Suntory Alberta Premium is made by Beam Suntory. While you may be familiar with the two brands that comprise the name, Jim Beam and Santory, they also have a portfolio of many other prominent whiskey brands. Makers Mark, Bakers, Basil Hayden's, Booker's, and Knob Creek are just a few of the company's whiskey-centered brands. This expression is a welcome addition to the lineup, adding even more variety to its global lineup.
