About the event

  • Handles, mickeys, shots, or drams, no matter what its measure, Canadian whisky is a liquid history of our country. This remarkably Canadian adventure is populated by the oddest characters, most dedicated craftspeople and more than a few con artists – a tale replete with incest, intrigue, adultery, murder, family rivalries, failed dynasties and one phenomenally successful one. The story brims with innovation and brands that still set the pace for whisky and brown spirits globally. Recent research has unearthed new insights, new voices, new distillers, and over a dozen forgotten but significant historical distilleries. With its whisky now in connoisseurs’ glasses worldwide, Canada is poised to reprise the 1950s and 60s Golden Age of Canadian Whisky. But, there’s a caution. Join Canada’s preeminent spirit expert Davin de Kergommeaux for this journey into the past and future of Canada’s spirit.
