Glenora Distillery
North America's first single malt whisky distillery, offering guided tours and tastings. The restaurant has live Celtic fiddle music every day.
Glenora lies in a valley near Mabou. In 1990 it became North America's first single malt whisky distillery. Because it could not use the word Scotch, its signature spirit is named Glen Breton. The guided tour lasts about 30 minutes and includes the copper stills, followed by a tasting. The distillery's restaurant and bar host live Celtic music at midday and in the evening in summer. It sits on the Celtic Shores coastal route, about 75 km from Baddeck.
