Description
🥃 EAU CLAIRE STAMPEDE RYE WHISKY
Alcohol Percentage (ABV): Varies by release (Typically 42% or higher)
Taste & Flavor Profile: This is a distinctly Albertan rye whisky, known for its bold yet balanced character derived from locally sourced grain. The nose is bright with traditional rye spice, featuring notes of fresh-cut hay, sugared plums, and cinnamon. The palate is rich and full, delivering classic peppery spice and gingerbread, which quickly mellows into sweet notes of maple, vanilla, and burnt caramel. The finish is long and dry, with a satisfying, lingering spice.
Key Details: Eau Claire is Alberta’s first craft distillery. This rye whisky is a farm-to-glass product, distilled using rye grown on the distillery’s own farm. It is released to commemorate the famous Calgary Stampede, typically as a limited single-cask or small-batch bottling, and is non-chill filtered. The intense prairie climate contributes to a rapid and deep maturation in new American oak casks, giving it a rich flavour despite its relatively younger age.
