IMPORTANT ALIBI VODKA NEWS
Alibi Vodka has hit its legal production limit that it can produce in the calendar year of 2024 and can no longer sell Alibi Vodka until
NEXT YEAR!
Effective Immediately:
Backroads Spirits with our product Alibi Vodka has now reached the annual production limit that SLGA has set for Saskatchewan Craft Alcohol Producers. As per SLGA guidelines, distillers in Saskatchewan have a threshold of litres that they can produce up to before crossing into a new category that would place them in the category of a National Producer. This new category would prevent us from delivering products directly to stores and would mean that retailers would only be able to purchase our product directly from the SLGA warehouse. It would also mean that SLGA would impose their own markup on our product meaning the cost to the stores would increase considerably and ultimately the cost to the consumer would increase as well. It is our decision as a family not to exceed this threshold at this time and to remain what SLGA considers a Saskatchewan Craft Alcohol Producer. This is beyond anything we could have envisioned only a few short years ago when we started our family distillery.
As such, we are unable to sell and deliver any more Alibi Vodka in the current calendar year of 2024.
Going forward, we expect to have Alibi Vodka on store shelves again beginning the first full week of January 2025. At that time we will also be unveiling and delivering our collectable shot glass giveaway promotion that we normally do for the Holiday season.
As mentioned, this level of production is beyond anything we could have imagined when starting our company. We would like to thank you, our valued customers, retailers and your staff, for purchasing and supporting Alibi Vodka over the years. We greatly appreciate you supporting our small business dreams! We can’t wait to provide Alibi Vodka to you again next year.
Thank you and see you in 2025,
- The Alibi Vodka Family and Team
WORLD'S BEST PURE NEUTRAL VODKA
Proudly awarded to Alibi Vodka at the 2023 World Vodka Awards
Our very own Alibi Vodka from Backroads Spirits Co. has done the unimaginable by winning the World’s Best Pure Neutral Vodka at the 2023 World Vodka Awards based in the United Kingdom. Having started a little under two years ago, this award came as a surprise to our family-owned and operated micro-distillery!
The World Vodka Awards are the global awards responsible for selecting the best vodkas from around the world. The awarding process takes place with a panel of esteemed international judges, ranging from industry experts, leading journalists, specialist drinks retailers and other distillers, conducting a blind taste test in a series of rounds. Firstly, gold medals and the best vodka are selected from each country before all the winners from around the world then being tasted against one another to select the World’s Best Vodka. The Saskatchewan-made Alibi Vodka was awarded World’s Best Pure Neutral Vodka and Canada’s Best Pure Neutral Vodka competing against vodkas and distilleries from around the world. The judges from the competition described Alibi Vodka as, “Clean and smooth with a bit of citrus and other fruity notes. Bright and fresh, staying cool on the palate.”

MADE FROM A
NEW ERA OF DISTILLING
INTEGRATING MODERN TECHNOLOGY WITH A TIMELESS TRADITION
A NEW ERA OF DISTILLING
Proudly Used By Backroads Spirits
When creating Backroads Spirits Co. we envisioned a micro-distillery where modern technology is embraced, but the tradition and heritage of distilling is not forgotten. With the use of our ultra-modern distilling equipment, we are capable of producing any type of spirit imaginable all within one still, rather than the use of multiple stills like in other distilleries. Our high-tech still through the use of intelligent artificial automation also allows us to produce top-tier products with higher consistency. This advanced technology and design also allow for our processes to be more efficient offering the capability to be up to 90% more energy efficient than traditional stills. This piece of modern distilling equipment is an extension of our vision where modern technology is integrated with a timeless tradition.
