This is Glenora Distillery's defining whisky. The Glen Breton name has been a source of legal issues since before the whisky was even released. The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) claimed that "Glen" is a name used only for Scotch whiskies and that this Canadian whisky could be misleading for international buyers. Since "Scotch" doesn't appear on the label and Glen Barton clearly markets itself as a Canadian whisky, the lawsuit was eventually dropped after a 9 year battle. This single malt whisky was aged for 10 years in American oak barrels.

The SOE may be a short run or one-off?

Having a disterially create short-run bottelings is not uncommon. You contract for whiskey(what ever), tast it, like it, and commit to XX barrels.

This is often done by unique organizations like SFA, VFW, whoever, primarily for their members.

I think there have been simular bottleing for the 1st SFG and other groups. Some are very successful.
