Spirit of Toronto have added additional masterclasses from 3 of Scotland’s most prestigious distilleries, The Macallan, Highland Park and The Glenrothes.

Masterclasses are presented on the lower level of Roy Thomson Hall during the course of the evening. Included as part of admission to the show, these 45 minute sessions offer guests the opportunity to taste whiskies not easily available for sampling, one-on-one with the pros.

NEW IN 2007! Due to the enormous popularity of the Masterclass series, a limited number of seat “reservations” will be taken at a booking table located at the top of the stairs leading to the lower level of the Hall.

Reserved seats will be held until 5 minutes before the start of each masterclass, after which they will be allocated to guests on a standby basis. We hope this new system reduces the line ups for these tastings and allows enthusiasts more time to enjoy the show.
