flag Alberta plans to define "Alberta whisky" with strict standards to boost its global reputation and tourism.

flag Alberta is advancing the proposed Alberta Whisky Act to establish a formal definition for "Alberta whisky," aiming to create a premium, distinct brand. flag The legislation, expected before the spring 2025 legislature session, will set standards for distillers to use the label, with compliance monitored by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis inspectors. flag The initiative emphasizes local ingredients like Rocky Mountain water and grains, cold climate aging, and supports whisky tourism, including a planned Alberta whisky trail. flag Industry leaders support the move, citing potential for international recognition and economic growth. flag The act will require production in Alberta but likely won’t mandate grain origin.
