Eau Claire Distillery

Yours Truly is a small-batch whisky from Eau Claire Distillery, made with Alberta barley and aged for three years.

Rich and smooth with notes of citrus, vanilla and butterscotch, it’s a thoughtful expression from this foothills-based craft distiller.

Created to celebrate International Women’s Day in March, Yours Truly is the latest whisky release from the team at Eau Claire Distillery. Fifty-one per cent of the distillery’s team is female, something they celebrate year-round, not just on one day.

Made with 100 per cent Alberta-grown barley, Yours Truly was aged for three years and is non-chill filtered with no added colouring. That gorgeous deep amber glow is all natural, from its time in-barrel. With hints of citrus, dark chocolate and vanilla on the nose, it has flavours of butterscotch ice cream and Christmas cake on the nose and palate.

Eau Claire Distillery — Alberta’s first craft distillery — is located in an old-time movie theatre and dance hall in Diamond Valley (Turner Valley) just 45 minutes from downtown Calgary. It opened just a little over a decade ago and has become a wonderful spot to stop for refreshments and shared plates.

Watch for a new ready-made gin-based cocktail, Blackberry Smash, from Eau Claire this spring, too.
