Only 2 More Sleeps!

Only 2 more days to go until we celebrate 10 years of Canada’s premiere whisky tasting event, and tickets are now sold out!!!

A few things to note, particularly if you’re joining us for the first time:

• Masterclasses are fully, completely and totally reserved. Please see the end of this missive for hints on securing any seats that may come available the night of the show.
• Should you have been fortunate enough to reserve a masterclass, please do not be late. Empty seats will be allocated by the ushers 5 minutes before class starts.
• Blender’s Malt Whisky Glasses: these will be for sale at the show, $10 apiece or a box of 6 glasses for $50 (cash sales only)

• NEW THIS YEAR! We’re pleased to introduce our branded lanyard as pictured above, designed to free your hands and secure your glass at all times. Available at a cost of $10 (cash only) throughout the night at the coat check counter.

Cigars anyone?
Fingers crossed that spring finally arrives this weekend: weather permitting, those of you who enjoy a cigar with their whisky are invited to visit the Cigar Bodega’s table and take advantage of Roy Thomson Hall’s outdoor terrace. Sarah Iles and her staff will be pleased to assist guests with the selection, cutting and lighting of cigars available for purchase from their table.

There will also be a Cigar and Whisky pairing presented by Sylvain Bouffard on the outdoor terrace at 9:30pm. A lucky few are in for a special treat as Sylvain pairs the refined notes of an Aberlour 18 Year Old with the Avo 25th Anniversary Piano from Davidoff, an exclusive smoke not easily found in Canada. Seating is very limited for this session and can be reserved at the coat check at exactly 8:00pm. (Please note: one ticket per person.)

Stand By Seating for Masterclasses
Seating in the 7pm and 8:30pm masterclasses are only reserved until 5 minutes before the start of class. Any no-shows will then be assigned to patrons on a stand-by basis, so please check with the usher in the South Lobby to see if any spots have come available.
