Glenora Distillery, founded in 1989 by local businessman Bruce Jardine, is located in Glenville, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Celebrated as North America's oldest single malt whisky distillery, Glenora was established to honour the deep cultural ties between Scotland and the Cape Breton region — a community with strong Scottish Highland heritage. The distillery sits in a scenic Nova Scotia valley, blending Old World tradition with a distinctly Canadian identity. Glenora's flagship expression is Glen Breton Rare, a Canadian single malt whisky that is sold in over 20 countries worldwide. The distillery's portfolio also includes special and limited editions featuring older and rare whisky. Glen Breton gained considerable international attention as the subject of an extended legal dispute with the Scotch Whisky Association, which challenged the use of the word 'Glen' — a case that ultimately helped cement Glenora's reputation on the world stage. Glenora's commitment to quality has made it a respected name in Canadian whisky, consistently recognised among the best Canadian whisky producers. The distillery continues to age casks of exceptional single malt, cementing its legacy as a pioneer of North American malt whisky production.
