Last month Spirit of Toronto returned on Saturday May 3, and oh what a night…

We love Islay. Its rugged beauty, its storied distilleries, and above all, its incomparable whiskies. And for one night only, we invite our guests to savour an extraordinary flight of Islay malts — a heartfelt showcase curated exclusively for this year’s Spirit of Toronto in our very own Islay Lounge.

This year, Spirit of Toronto is pleased to be finally welcoming Bruichladdich — Islay’s great iconoclast, and the unapologetically experimental distillery that has redefined what a single malt Scotch whisky can be.

The Dalmore — a name that speaks to elegance, patience, and the transformative power of sherry cask maturation. Nestled along the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands, The Dalmore has long been synonymous with prestige…

Few names in Irish whiskey carry the weight and admiration of Redbreast. Made at Midleton Distillery — for decades the last remaining stronghold of Single Pot Still whiskey — Redbreast is both emblematic of that style and deeply tied to the distillery’s legacy.

Once a well-kept secret, Indian single malt whisky has taken its place among the world’s most celebrated spirits. This year, Spirit of Toronto is proud to present Amrut, the pioneering distillery that introduced India’s first single malt whisky in 2004.
