Battle of the Glen
Since 2001, the Scotch Whisky Association has been opposed to Glenora's use of the word "glen" in the name of their single malt whisky, Glen Breton Rare. The association says use of the word could give customers the impression that the product is Scotch. This despite the fact that Glenora has been very careful to label their whisky as Canadian.
Last year, the Trade-marks Opposition Board ruled in favor of the distillery. But recently, that ruling was overturned by the Federal Court of Canada.
Distillery president Lauchie MacLean vows to fight. Looks like this one is going to the mattresses, boys. Stay tuned for more.
