See you in 2012 on May 12!

Thank you to all our exhibitors and guests for making this 7th Spirit of Toronto Whisky Gala such a spectacular evening!

From whisky to cognac to rum… from the Blind Whisky Challenge to hand carved ice balls and cocktails… from the Whisky Shots! video stand to the cheese trays and beef tenderloin… this truly was a night to remember.

Masterclasses were once again fully subscribed and highlights included special guests Willie Tait from Isle of Jura, John Glaser from Compass Box, John Hall from Forty Creek Whisky and Michael Urquhart from Gordon & MacPhail who surprised and astounded his class with a rare sample of The Glenlivet 70 Year Old.

For those of you frustrated at not being able to attend a masterclass, please know that every effort will be made to ensure that as many of you as possible will be able to take part in a tutored tasting in 2012.

Once again it is time to say goodbye, but thankfully much of Spirit of Toronto 2011 has been recorded for posterity on Flickr and on Spirit of Toronto’s YouTube channel at:

See you in 2012 on Saturday, May 12… and between now and then, have a great summer!
