Effective May 22, 2026, the Alberta Whisky Act (Bill 24) establishes a legal standard, including input requirements and production criteria, for products labelled as 'Alberta Whisky'.
Participation is voluntary, and distillers may continue to produce whisky products that do not use this designation, provided they meet applicable Canadian whisky requirements.
