Eau Claire Distillery Releases the Ploughman’s Rye Whisky

Horse-farmed Rye creates a one-of-a-kind signature Rye Whisky

Turner Valley, Alberta (June 27, 2019) Eau Claire Distillery (Eau Claire) is excited to announce its limited-edition Rye, the Ploughman’s Rye Whisky on June 27, 2019.

The first of its kind from Eau Claire, the Ploughman’s Rye Whisky is a nod to Alberta farm pioneers that has shaped the province’s agriculture. The creation of this rye whisky with traditional horse-farming practices, makes this the first

horse-farmed rye since the turn of the century. The Ploughman’s Rye Whisky is an approachable, smooth sipping rye that can be enjoyed on its own or in your favourite brown spirit cocktail.

“This unique rye is the only one in the world that uses horse-farmed rye. It was grown in a field at the Bar U Ranch National Historic Site near Longview, Alberta,” says David Farran, President of Eau Claire. “You don’t get more Alberta than that.”

The Eau Claire blend marries the quintessential sweet, spicy notes of rye whisky with the robust, deep flavour of Eau Claire’s signature whisky

“The Ploughman’s Rye Whisky was first aged in New American Oak barrels and finished in casks from our Single Malt Whisky Batch 002,” Master Distiller, Caitlin Quinn, states.

Rye is a truly Canadian spirit, making it the perfect product to add to Eau Claire’s line-up of farm-to-glass spirits. With the Ploughman’s Rye Whisky, Eau Claire yet again brings a bold and flavourful spirit made from the harvest of Alberta lands straight to your glass.
