Spirit of Toronto returns on Saturday May 4!

You’d think it would get easier after twenty years.

Yet year in, year out, I legit am holding my breath as the website is updated and our masterclass schedule finally published, after what seems like an agonizing back-and-forth process of confirming presenters, details and, most importantly, the whiskies that will be poured.

By now brands who have already presented at Spirit of Toronto know to expect my call and my ‘pretty please’ as I come knocking – cap in hand – in search of shiny baubles to share with our esteemed guests: you beautiful people who consistently make the effort to join us for one evening once a year, many of you traveling from out of town. We wouldn’t be here without your support throughout the years, and as such it’s a privilege to search out the unicorns that put a smile on your face and give you something to remember us by…

Yes, the Website is Now Fully Updated!

Too long, didn’t read: yes, our website is now fully updated along with our masterclass schedule.

For our 20th anniversary it felt right to limit this year’s series to our first love – whisky, whiskey, uisge beatha – and even more so to have one of our own national treasures present this year’s headline tasting: Dr. Don Livermore who will be unveiling the J.P. Wiser’s Decades Series alongside the latest installment in the Lot 40 Exploration Series… and a one-off blend crafted in celebration of 20 years of Spirit of Toronto – bless!

Once again for 2024 we are running the first set of Early Admission masterclasses before the show, and a second set of masterclasses at 7:00pm. With a bit of planning that leaves ample time to perambulate the floor and visit with our exhibitors and, if you’re in the right place at the right time, taste one of this year’s Signature Selections.
