Thank you for 20 years

As the kids say, pics or it didn’t happen.

A big thank you goes out to all the staff, brands and guests who made Spirit of Toronto’s 20th anniversary a night to remember — despite the line-ups, the evening exceeded all expectations.

As those who attended can attest, this year’s selection boasted an embarrassment of riches that spanned the worlds of whisky and whiskey, alongside tequila, rum, and cognac.

Not to mention our Oyster Bar and Nikka Whisky Lounge – and those chicken katsu bao buns – and an enviable array of spirits from Italy alongside mouthwatering platters of cheese and prosciutto. This was all capped off by the generous selection of whisky collectibles that were poured as part of Spirit of Toronto’s Warehouse 20 – that Port Ellen though.

We apologize again for the occasional line-up, but good things do come to those who wait.

As always, the real treat was the warmth and energy of your smiles as you made your way through the event — a picture is worth a thousand words so please check out our photo gallery to relive the good times.

Spirit of Toronto 20th Anniversary Edition

It may be a wrap on this year’s live event, but the celebration is not over yet – our 20th anniversary will include a series of bespoke tasting boxes shining a light on some of our favourite whiskies and people.

Plans are underway to reprise this now annual tradition with an at-home version of Spirit of Toronto later this fall. You’ll hear from us again in September once plans have been confirmed.

Until then, keep well, and feel free to read about my recent trip to New York on Substack.
