So in our group, I’m at the heart of an odd, but fun situation. Anyone who has either drank with me or have read my mystery reviews knows I am bad at them. Also anyone who knows me knows that I speak with confidence when discussing anything, because I worked in marketing, and literally if you don’t act like you know 100% of everything all… Continue reading Glen Breton Rare 19 Ice Cask Strength Single Malt
As part of the Toronto Whisky Society end of year celebration, we ended up with a few whiskies to share. 2017 was a great year for us. Thus I don’t actually remember who brought this or the last or next review, but thank you! And feel free to add a username for me to thank below! Currently we’re seeing a growth in Canadian whisky, with quality improving.… Continue reading Glen Breton Rare 10 Ice Cask Strength Single Malt
On a recent trip to Nova Scotia, my wife and I drove the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton and made a stop at the Glenora Distillery for a tour and tasting. I write in detail about the distillery and its history here, and have included this post to cover the reviews we did of the drams we tasted. Previously reviewed Glen Breton bottlings can be … Continue reading Glenora Distillery Multi-Review
When most people think of Canadian whisky, their minds go to blends or rye (whether the whisky contains any rye spirit or not). Rarely do people associate Canada with single malts, although there are a number of distilleries producing them today with the craft distilling boom hitting the Great White North. But before that boom, while brown spirits were giving way to white spirits in … Continue reading Distillery Spotlight: Glenora Distillery, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
Glenora is a distillery in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia (New Scotland), Canada, an area where many Scottish immigrants settled early in Canada’s history. Like many people on that end of the country, they don’t do things like all the other Canadians. Rather than make blended stuff like all the other distilleries, they started making single malt in the 90s, the first in North America to … Continue reading Glen Breton Multi-Review: 10, 12 Ice Wine, 15 Battle of the Glen
Glenora Distillery and I have a shakey non-relationship. It’s a relationship for the joke description I’m writing now. On the one hand, Canada’s first ever single malt. Made in Nova Scotia, fighting the good fight over naming issues. If that doesn’t make my heart bleed maple syrup and make me want to fuck a moose, I don’t know what will. On the other hand… I… Continue reading Glen Breton 12 Ice
It’s always rough being the first people in the door, especially when everyone else doesn’t exactly know where the door is or how to properly open the door. Such, I feel, is the case of the much maligned Glen Breton Rare. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears, I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Back in 1990, or as we North American’s… Continue reading Glen Breton Rare 10
It’s kinda hard being a Canadian at times here on /r/worldwhisky. For one, I pay almost as much as Australians for whiskey, however they are having this wonderful renaissance going on, where as my country has laws that require Canadian whiskey to taste like… Canadian whiskey. Mix that in that there are such HUGE barriers to changing anything within my province (Ontario), and the fact… Continue reading Glen Breton Rare Ice 17 Cask Strength Single Malt
