As some other posters have noted, Canada is more accurately described as being founded by the French and Scots, rather than the French and English. And "ground zero" for that is Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia - many "Scottish" place names, cultural heritage (Gaelic is still spoken in some places) - even the land looks like Scotland.



"Canada's only single-malt whiskey"

Because of this ruling - meaning a name change - I guess any existing bottles of “Glen Breton” might eventually become collector’s items!

How about calling it Glenbreton? Or Glenora Breton? Would even the sound be forbidden?

We visited the distillery in 1999 when we were in Nova Scotia - what a charming place and charming people. It’s a pity to see this sort of nonsense. Perhaps instead calling itself “Canada’s only single malt” it should call itself “Cape Breton’s only single malt” and change it’s name to “Cape Breton Glenville”

Any single-malt that begins w/ “Glen” is crappola.

Evidence by Oban, Laphroaig, Knockdhu, Bruichladdich, etc, ets, etc..

Also to note:

"Whiskey" versus "Whisky" ... does the "e" make a difference?

Cape Breton is actually “ground zero” for both founding nations- my family is Acadian.

What do you do with a drunken Scotsman,
What do you do with a drunken Scotsman,
What do you do with a drunken Scotsman
Ear-lye in the morning?

Wey-hey and up he rises,
Wey-hey and up he rises,
Wey-hey and up he rises
Ear-lye in the morning!

Make Amanda cook him breakfast,
Ear-lye in the morning!

CHORUS

“Amanda, please don’t make me eat that,
So ear-lye in the morning!”

Wey-hey and up it rises,
Wey-hey and up it rises,
Wey-hey and up it rises
Ear-lye in the morning!

See him running to the bathroom,
Ear-lye in the morning!

2nd CHORUS

Chasing Amanda with a sharp katana,
Ear-lye in the morning!

Wey-hey she’s off and running,
Ear-lye in the morning!

Let him cook his own damn breakfast!
Ear-lye in the morning!
So that’s what you do with a drunken Scotsman,
Ear-lye in the morning!

I stayed there in 2003 and still have a remaining unopened bottle of this excellent single malt. This single malt is a must for the serious connoisseur.

Any restrictions on importing Glen Breton into the USA? Assuming I can find any next time I’m in Canada (which might be a few months)...
