PRESS RELEASE
VICTORY IN THE GLEN
June
9, 2010
Glenora Distillers International Limited takes great pride in announcing a
Special Edition 15 Year Old GLEN BRETON Single Malt Whisky.
One year ago, on June 11th, 2009, the Supreme Court of Canada delivered
its judgement dismissing the application of the Scotch Whisky
Association for leave to appeal in its unsuccessful campaign to oppose
the trade-mark registration of Glen Breton, Glenora's flagship
single malt. That decision finally terminated seven years of litigation
by the Scotch Whisky Association, involving four levels of appeal in the
Trade-marks Opposition Board and the courts.
On November 19th 2009, Glen Breton was entered as a registered mark
on the Trade-marks Register of Canada. We at Glenora express our deep
appreciation for the support and loyal patronage of the many who stood
with us to win our cause.
In celebration of the registration of Glen Breton®, and to
commemorate our victory in that Opposition, Glenora is releasing a
unique bottling of select 15 Year Old Single Malt, the BATTLE OF THE
GLEN™ Special Edition.
Lauchie MacLean, President of Glenora, says of this Special Edition
Glen Breton,
"As far as we are aware, BATTLE OF THE GLEN is the first and only
product created as a result of intellectual property litigation. The

inspiration of lovers of fine single malt whisky, and records our
struggle for posterity. I am tremendously proud of the work of our
people here at Glenora in producing this Special Edition. Glenora also
wishes to acknowledge the creative talent of

902-468-6516 On Wednesday, June 9th, 2010 we officially
released a special bottling to help commemorate our 9 year legal battle
with the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA).
The selected whisky has aged for 15 years in the warehouses at
Glenora and is confidently bares the label “Battle of the Glen”. The official launch took place at 6:30pm followed
by a traditional Ceilidh in the Glenora Pub.  Tasting Notes Colour A rare dissolution of gold - at break of dawn, the first brushing of the sun upon the snow-covered lakes of the Bras d’Or; Nose Subtle, summer-cut applewood, with undertones of Highland honey; Taste Taking by surprise, come the waves of malt, powerful, but without overbearing, then a complex orchard of flavour; Finish Rich, almost lubricious mouthfeel, The malt withdraws into heat, resolving into the warm caress of an enduring companion, Peat character is very subtle - rather wisps of hardwood smoke, evoking memories of autumn leaves; Balance The play between lightness of the whisky and the strength of the malt is a work of harmony…..and mystery….… A Single Malt worthy of the campaign commemorated by this Special Edition.
