A batch of Alberta Premium Rye selected and blended from consecutive vintages between 2001 and 2010.
No false modesty, we produce the best rye in the world. Thankfully, Alberta Distillers is starting to catch on to what they have. Hopefully they continue to release these neat expressions they've been giving us in more recent years.
Producer Description
"In 2001, we laid down our first batch of liquid. Every year for the next decade, we did the same. Batch 10 Legacy Reserve brings you a blend of liquid from all 10 years, hand selected by our staff to create the best tasting liquid possible from each year's unique taste profile." "Select whisky from 10 differnt warehouses from across our 42-acre site, contributing to the breadth of liquids available to blend based on the unique attributes of each warehouse." "New White Oak, Ex-Bourbon and Ex-Canadian Whisky" barrels.

A new Rye from Alberta Distillers! With no press release or information or web page on the bottle to be found. What we can tell you is that it carries a stated age of 9 Years Old, and is made from 100% Rye Grain. Oh, and it is bottled at 45% ABV.
The back label does mention three barrel types used, but does not specify which types. It is from ADL, so the liquid should be good. Plus, the price is very reasonable if the quality is there.
If only this small, plucky Calgary Distillery was owned by a large spirits conglomerate that could afford to throw some money into marketing and entice us on what makes this bottle special... Sure, the same company owns a distillery on Islay that pointlessly co-brands some of their high-end single malts with a luxury car brand because they don't see the whisky as premium enough to sell on its own. That is just fine, but throwing a bit of a spotlight on one of the best rye distilleries in the world would be a bridge too far!

This 21 year old Alberta Distillers Rye was matured in a mix of ex-Canadian, ex-Bourbon, and New White Oak Casks. 50%
Producer Description
"For over two decades in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, three barrel styles have influenced the aging of Alberta Distiller’s second rare Canadian whisky release. Canadian Whisky, Bourbon Whisky, and New White Oak barrels aged Rare Batch Issue No.2 laying down in a rack style, promoting greater air flow around the barrels at a higher elevation. This traditional maturation process influenced several flavour profiles in combination with the dry air and chinook winds of the foothills."

100% BC Rye whisky initially matured in virgin oak and finished in PX Sherry casks. 50%
Producer Description
"First this 100% B.C. rye grain whisky spent its first few years in new American oak casks. Second, and only once the whisky is already matured, it is transferred to once used Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. These freshly emptied casks are shipped directly from Spain. They come with a complimentary few litres of Sherry wine. Not only is this wine an assurance of cask quality, but we enjoy using it in our lounge cocktails! Finally, we taste the whisky in the casks, only bottling once we’ve achieved the flavour we are looking for."
