We answer the nagging question that haunts so many whisky lovers, ourselves included: what is the right occasion to open your precious thing?

We’re finally tasting the bottles we’ve been longing to open, alongside the conversation we’ve been longing to have. Was Scotch whisky from yesteryear actually better?

Crisp air, pumpkin spice lattes and the yellow, gold and brown of fallen leaves… we’re feeling all the fall vibes over here, which makes it even more exciting to see our latest round of virtual masterclasses now on sale.

As we close out our 20th anniversary, we’ve decided to keep this year’s virtual series short and very, very sweet: one looking back at where we started, and a blind tasting that questions if and how our beloved single malt Scotch whisky has changed over the years.

Just a quick update on some of the new whiskies trickling onto store shelves, with a fitting number showing Canada in its best light. Cheers!

As they 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.

Many of you ask what will be on offer for your friends, lovers and family who don’t ‘do’ whisky. Rest assured that we’ve got everybody covered, so keep reading and then forward them this message if they still have doubts.

While it’s grown (and grown) since its inception in 2004, single malt whisky is still the beating heart of Spirit of Toronto, as our guests will see firsthand when they behold ‘Spirit of Toronto Warehouse 20’ – an ode to our love of single malts in celebration of our twentieth anniversary.

With this year’s event program now at the print shop, we preview what’s in store for guests attending our 20th anniversary show.
