The “Spirit of Toronto 2010 Collection”
We sample a fair number of whiskies in preparation for each edition of Spirit of Toronto but truth be told, we’re really not into rating individual whiskies per se. We come across mostly good ones, and a few great ones… and then there are those that we simply describe as “ace”, as in top shelf, top class, top drawer.

This year we look forward to sharing some of these whiskies with our esteemed guests through the Spirit of Toronto 2010 Collection, a selection of ten such aces, some that we liked so much we had them specially imported just for the show.

Inside each Blender’s Malt Glass handed out will be a token corresponding to a pre-selected whisky. Simply visit the Spirit of Toronto table to redeem your token and enjoy a sample from the 2010 Collection. That said, be forewarned should you wait too long to enjoy your sample—luck be a lady and I’d be lying if I said that all aces were created equally.

There are a few tickets left, visit The Spirit of Toronto to claim yours.
