Eau Claire Distillery Triumphs at San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Eau Claire Distillery, Alberta’s first farm-to-glass craft distillery, has claimed the prestigious “Best in Class” award for Canadian Whisky at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Competing against some of the largest distilleries in Canada and the world, Eau Claire’s Rupert’s Exceptional Canadian Whisky triumphed with its handcrafted excellence, winning top honors in a field dominated by industry heavyweights.

Founded in 2000, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition is the oldest and largest competition of its kind, bringing together a panel of the most influential names in the drinks industry to judge and rate some 5,000 entries across every spirits category.

Rupert’s Exceptional Canadian Whisky was crafted with pure Rocky Mountain water and Alberta- grown barley, showcasing the unique terroir of its birthplace. The distillery has consistently proven that small, craft-focused operations can compete – and win – against some of the world’s largest and most recognized brands.

Eau Claire’s journey to this win is a testament to its unwavering commitment to farm-to-glass production, where tradition and innovation meet to create spirits that reflect the soul of the land.
