Glen Breton GHLEANN DUBH PEATED SINGLE MALT WHISKY took home a Silver Medal in the 2021 Canadian Whisky Awards.
The annual Canadian Whisky Awards, broadcast online in 2021, are normally held in conjunction with the Victoria Whisky Festival. The awards recognize the very best Canadian whiskies and are intended to encourage distillers to maintain the highest quality standards. To qualify, each whisky must be distilled and matured in Canada.
An independent panel of whisky experts select winners after tasting each whisky blind. In keeping with current trends in whisky connoisseurship, the jury includes both women and men tasters, who have made significant contributions to understanding Canadian whisky.
Ghleann Dubh 13 Year Old Single Malt Whisky has a rich golden colour with a finish that bursts with flavour development, apple, toffee, vanilla and butterscotch. It is among several award-winning Single Malt Whisky products by Glenora Distillery.
“We are honoured to have Ghleann Dubh selected by expert connoisseurs from the Canadian Whisky Awards. It gives us a great deal of pride to share this achievement with our staff and loyal customers,” said Lauchie MacLean, President and CEO.
About Glen Breton
Glen Breton is made by Glenora Distillery, a Canadian distillery located in Nova Scotia, which translates to New Scotland. The company’s story can be dated back to the 19th-century when Scottish immigrants flocked to Cape Breton Island. The company specializes in the Scottish traditions of making spirited whisky. The distillery was built in 1990 by Brude Jardine before being sold in 1994. Under its current ownership, the business has grown at a rapid pace with the latest accolades underlining the brand's reputation as one of the best in class.
The distillery is recognized as North America’s first single malt whisky distillery, and the producer of the world’s first single malt whisky aged in ice wine barrels. The distillery offers tours, overnight stays, and a host of other on-site features. Its collection of single malt whisky offerings can be found across North America and beyond.
Glenora Distillery is expanding across the United States and is currently available in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Missouri, Oklahoma, Alaska and Tennesse. The company plans to add California and Texas to its distribution network in late 2021.
