Fun Facts
- Glenora Distillery, North America’s first single malt whisky distillery, begins its history in the early 1800s.
- The subtitle “Battle of the Glen” is a reference to the SWA trying to stop the distillers from using the word ‘Glen’ in their name, though it was eventually dismissed 7 years after the litigation started. In celebration, Glenora released this very whisky!
