Scotland, Off the Beaten Path
Discover Scotland’s hidden gems.
This year’s Spirit of Toronto is your invitation to explore the lesser-travelled roads of Scotland and its whiskies — drams from distilleries that may not seek the spotlight, but whose spirits fully deserve it.
This is the year to explore the uncompromising craft of Benromach, one of Speyside’s last truly handmade single malts. To taste the bold new voice of Lagg, bringing peated power from the Isle of Arran. To experience Lochlea, a genuine farm distillery crafting single malt from barley grown on its own Ayrshire fields — field to glass, with unmistakable integrity.
And to discover Fettercairn, whose tropical fruits and distinctive copper cooling ring make it one of Scotland’s most quietly original distilleries.
You’ll encounter the unapologetically progressive Bruichladdich, a Victorian distillery guided by terroir, transparency, and radical experimentation — while offering something for every palate, from unpeated elegance to extreme peat.
And then there’s Jura, an island outpost with a cult following, offering evocative, coastal drams that reward slow contemplation.
These are the distilleries that fly under the radar — rarely discussed, often overlooked, and all the more rewarding for it.
Because Spirit of Toronto isn’t just about the names everyone knows. It’s also about the ones waiting to be discovered.
One night. Infinite discovery.
Our first all-VIP edition.
Fewer crowds. Less rushing. More whisky.
