Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye 5th Rl
$86.99
Batch 5 of the venerable Alberta Premium Cask Strength is here! We haven't tasted it yet, but if the quality is as good as the past four releases, then you are going to want to pick one up. The 5th release is bottled at a healthy 64.2%. We have no idea how few or how many bottles of this were produced, so grab it while you can!
Rumour has it this may be the last batch of the Alberta Premium Cask Strength released in this style. Whether that means the Beam Suntory/Alberta Distillers plans on moving away from the iconic Alberta Premium Bottle for packaging, perhaps makes future editions less of a limited release, or does something else entirely remains to be seen.

This is Bridgeland's Taber Corn Bourbon Style Whisky, bottled at a respectable 50.5% ABV — or 101 Proof. Made from a mash bill of 60% Taber Corn, 32% Penhold Barley, and 8% Penhold Wheat. This is a great Bourbon alternative for those looking to support local. Matured in new American Oak barrels with a #4 Char.
Producer Description
"Taber Corn is second to none. Each summer, when word of Taber, Alberta’s first corn harvest breaks, connoisseurs converge on roadside stands to get it. It’s an easy progression why we would use Alberta’s famous Taber Corn from the Molnar Farm in our corn mash allowing you to not only eat your Taber Corn, but drink it too. At 101 proof (50.5% abv), this higher proof whisky gives a depth of flavour and aroma second to none, just like the corn it is made from!"

Shiddys Orange Drink - McShiddys
$4.19
With some alcohol, you might drink because you love it. Other booze, you might drink because it brings on a sense of nostalgia. Then, there are some drinks that are so weird they can only be approached and drunk ironically. This RTD from Shiddy's covers at least two of those three ideas, but we leave it to you to decide which two.
The drink definitely nails the concept of watery orange juice from concentrate as a cocktail quite well. Possibly that is just what the doctor ordered, and you have been craving that flavour without knowing it. Perhaps it will remind you of a time long ago, eating fast food on a road trip to see family in another city or province. Or maybe, just maybe, you find it tastes so bad that you have no choice but to consider it the epitome of haut couture and want to be seen as recognizing and understanding the grand comedy that is human existence.
Either way, this orange drink is going to make you think something. What that something is, is up to you.
5% ABV. No added sugar. Gluten-free. Only 100 Calories per Can. Creepy Clown not included.
