An Essential Guide to Eating Your Way Through Alberta | Eater
"While whisky has always been big in Canada, Jasper is a particularly excellent place to distill, thanks to the town’s proximity to both the plains’ rye and wheat grains and the mountain glaciers’ icy-fresh waters. A tour or tasting at The Maligne Range will dig deeper into all of the above, but the craft distillery also doubles as a great place to grab dinner or a dram with friends. Start your evening with Tekarra, a whisky named after one of Jasper National Park’s mountains. With Canadian malted barley and a subtle hint of demerara sugar, it’s dark, earthy, and slightly candied. It works well with the restaurant’s menu of slow-smoked barbecue, like sticky maple-mustard pork belly and elk sausage served with smoky tomato chutney. The drink list is stacked with Maligne Range whisky cocktails (served on tap or by the bottle) and deep-cut bottles from across Canada." - Kate Dingwall
