Glen Breton Battle of the Glen 15 Year Old Canadian Whisky

Glen Breton Battle of the Glen 15 Year Old Canadian Whisky 750ml

Serving as North America’s first single malt distillery, Glen Breton has set a high bar of excellence for single malts created in Canada. Nestled among the hills of Nova Scotia, Canada, forward thinkers founded Glenora Distillery back in 1989 with the help of one of the whisky world’s greatest minds, Jim McEwan. Using traditional pot stills, mash tuns and maturation processes, Glen Breton was born and became one of the world’s most soughtafter single malts (figuratively and legally). Their water is sourced from MacLellan’s Brook, which starts in the Cape Breton Highlands, Glen Breton directly takes on the identity of their 900-acre property from start to finish. On the property, fields of heather grow alongside a maple wood forest, which directly impacts their flavors while ageing in ex-bourbon casks. With cold winters and hot summers, the ex-bourbon casks elevate the terroir during the natural breathing cycle year after year. The result of sitting in a dunnage warehouse year after year has resulted in numerous awards from around the world. When the Scotch Whisky Association launched its lawsuit against Glenora Distillery in 2000, shortly after the release of its first bottling proudly called “Glen Breton Rare”, a media frenzy soon followed in newspapers, magazines, and in online newsletters, forums, and blogs North America’s only Single Malt Whisky distillery was a hot topic amongst the whisky and local cultural communities. Upon victory in the summer of 2009 it was decided to dedicate a bottling to celebrate this epic battle, so fittingly called the “Battle of the Glen.” The packaging features some of the many press clippings that appeared throughout the world.
