The term « Pure Edmonton » might be considered misleading due to its geographical association with a city outside of Scotland; however, this nomenclature was Pure Edmonton (Argyll) casino used by some marketers as an attempt to create a local connection or identity for the brand.

To clarify, Pure Edmonton is not a product produced within Edmonton’s territorial boundaries but rather a reference to Canadian whiskey made in Argyll. The origin and production of this particular spirit are tied to Canada, yet it gets its name from a place in Scotland.

The history behind this type of liquor begins with the early 20th-century Canadian distilleries that experimented with recipes based on traditional Scottish methods but adapted them using local ingredients such as corn or wheat instead of malted barley.

History and Background

It’s worth noting that pure Canadian whiskey, which this topic focuses on, was influenced by local recipes combined with traditional methods and production techniques used in Scotland but also involved some differences due to availability of certain ingredients.

Before Prohibition era in the United States (1920-1933), a significant amount of whiskey imported from Canada consisted primarily of Canadian whiskies. However, during this time the majority of global alcohol exports came from countries such as Great Britain or Ireland and its colonies which then comprised the British Empire. Post-Prohibition several local distilleries across North America experimented with unique recipes, combining both domestic and international influences.

In the middle 20th century producers started experimenting more aggressively to create distinct flavor profiles incorporating both native grains like corn, rye wheat into blends alongside malts and other aging techniques which led eventually towards developing some characteristics which could be described as distinctly ‘Canadian’.
