In 2023, U.S. alcohol exports to Canada amounted to US$262 million (C$377 million) a year. American booze could get costlier if Canada and the U.S. enter a tariff war.
Exactly, I can only save them so long before they need to be sampled. It was a bit of a let down when I found out it was a numbered bottle, but hey it was worth it.
My wife actually bought the last bottle of rum they had, which if I recall was 15yrs. It was fantastic as well, after it sitting on a shelf for 9 or 10 yrs.
My all-time favorite though was when I hand bottled my own 19yr from a single cask at the distillery, that was the best I’ve had from Glenora.
Ok… I wasn’t gonna brag but you are making me jealous.
I have bottle 339 of the first run. It is in a little wooden box signed by the distiller. Apparently the first batch was given out to certain people of Canadian note/locals. My “Uncle” (mom’s cousin’s husband) was given one from I think the Rankin Family who recieved a few, and Gretzky got #99. My dad’s and I were at the distillery when we saw their remaining bottles for sale, a random smattering of numbers. We asked the price.
“It’s different for each number”
… “What’s the cheapest one?”
Mom wasn’t very impressed…
I wanna open that one so bad.
My other half did the hand bottling as well. Many years ago. That one got drunk lol.
Sure was. I have myself a Battle of the Glen bottle tucked away.
Ok, I don’t mean to upset you but, I drank mine. And boy am glad I did and very sad that I did.
That’s what it’s for. I’m sure it was awesome.

Very nice, I yield to you good sir. Hopefully they continue to create great whiskey for many years to come.
Agreed. And no yielding! We must stand together, and spread the good word.
