Glenora Inn & Distillery

Glenora Distillery has been recognized as the first single malt whisky distillery in North America, and we’ve also produced the world’s first single malt whisky aged in ice wine barrels. Our copper pot stills and time-tested traditions mean the whisky we produce is on par with the greatest single malts in Scotland. Glenora is located in Nova Scotia, a province whose name literally translates to ‘New Scotland.’ Being a part of Nova Scotia’s heritage means that Cape Breton Island is one of very few places on Earth where Gaelic culture and language thrive. As Scottish descendants we passionately keep the dearest aspects of our ancestor’s colourful culture alive. Glenora produces Glen Breton Rare Canadian Single Malt Whisky, available throughout Canada and many countries worldwide. Glen Breton Rare Single Malt Whisky is produced in the traditional method using only three ingredients: barley, yeast and water.
