This whiskey is named for William “Bat” Masterson, “an Old West marshal, gambler, newspaperman and boxing promoter” – someone who always looked to new trends.

Distillery Information
Alberta Distillers Ltd. has since grown into one of Canada’s premiere rye producers — despite the company’s growth, however, the distillery’s local roots are still evident today. Most of the rye grains used by Alberta Distillers is sourced from farmers in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with the farmers still delivering the grains personally by truck.
