Description
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.
86 Proof / 43% ABV
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Subtle, summer-cut applewood, with undertones of Highland honey; Taste Taking by surprise, come the waves of malt, powerful, but without overbearing, then a complex orchard of flavor
PALATE
Rich, almost lubricious mouthfeel, The malt withdraws into heat, resolving into the warm caress of an enduring companion, Peat character is very subtle - rather wisps of hardwood smoke, evoking memories of autumn leaves
