A few Alberta distilleries had a great showing at the 2024 World Whiskies Awards.
In total, Alberta-based distilleries brought home 10 medals with two gold, five silver, and three bronze medals.
Among them was Diamond Valley-based Eau Claire Distillery.
Their Alberta Single Malt Whisky Batch 7 won gold, along with Anohka's This Is Not Whisky, Heavily Peated Single Malt Spirit.
Eau Claire's Rupert's Exceptional Canadian Whisky Blended also bagged a silver medal.
A release from the Alberta provincial government included a quote from Highwood MLA and Agriculture Minister RJ Sigurdson congratulating Eau Claire.
"I am very proud to see Eau Claire Distillery making their mark on the global stage through their incredible success at the 2024 World Whiskies Awards. This accomplishment truly reflects the dedication and world-class skill of Alberta's distillers, and the high quality of Alberta grains."
Alberta's other medal-winning distillers were Anohka Distillery in Parkland, Black Velvet Distillery in Lethbridge, and Alberta Distillers out of Calgary.
