Alberta has tabled legislation to create an official provincial whisky label, with Service Alberta Minister Dale Nally saying he wants it to earn the same global recognition as Bourbon whiskey from Kentucky and Scotch whisky from Scotland. The proposed Bill 24, the Alberta Whisky Act, outlines rules governing how long distilleries must age their products and where they source their rye and water to be eligible to use the “Alberta Whisky” label. “Alberta’s distillers craft some of the finest whisky in the world, using the highest quality ingredients that only Alberta can offer. And the Alberta Whisky Act will give them the recognition they rightfully deserve, helping them flourish on the world stage,” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said on social media on April 1.
