2023 Silver Medal Winner| Canadian Whisky Awards

Discover the enigmatic charm of Gleann Dubh, Gaelic for "The Dark Glen," a 16-year-old single malt that is as rich in history as it is in flavor. Crafted in the serene valleys of Cape Breton, this whisky embodies the spirit of its namesake - a tribute to glens everywhere, from the Scottish Highlands to the far reaches of the world. 

A Tale of Triumph: The journey of Gleann Dubh mirrors a saga of resilience and identity. Glenora Distillery, in its pursuit to uphold its heritage, faced a landmark legal challenge over the use of "Glen" in its brand name. This battle, fought with tenacity and passion, culminated in a historic victory at the Supreme Court of Canada. Gleann Dubh stands as a testament to this triumph, a symbol of rightful pride and unyielding spirit. 

The Dark Glen: The name "Gleann Dubh" is not just a nod to the picturesque valley but also to the distinctive character of this whisky. As the "black sheep" of the whisky world, Glenora embraced its uniqueness by crafting a darker, peated whisky. Gleann Dubh, with its smoky and robust profile, is the embodiment of this bold and defiant spirit. 

A Symphony of Flavors: This exquisite whisky harmoniously blends traditional malt flavors with a distinct citrus zest, thanks to its peated malt. Aged for 16 years, it develops a rich, silky mouthfeel, with the peat's intensity mellowing to reveal a complex array of oak spice, vanilla, and coconut. 

Nature's Whisper: Beyond its bold character, Gleann Dubh is a celebration of its environment. The nearby apple orchards, lush forests, and heather fields lend their subtle influences, infusing the whisky with notes of apple blossom, maple syrup, and a delicate sweetness. 

Savor the Rebellion: Gleann Dubh, "The Dark Glen," invites you to experience the unconventional. Whether you're a connoisseur of peated whiskies or exploring this style for the first time, this whisky promises a journey of discovery. Embrace the dark, embrace the defiant - enjoy "The Dark Glen."
