Why Toronto?
“I love Toronto. I was born and raised here and I’ve always wanted to bring Whisky Global to my hometown,” said Adam Bloch, the event’s lead producer. “Toronto is a city built around history and culture and nothing is richer in those than the community surrounding whisky.”
“I started my own whisky journey by attending a whisky tasting and thus it is a personal mission (of mine) to offer that same opportunity to others,” commented Bloch.
Curated by in-house whisky experts, Whisky Global’s events in Toronto, Vancouver, Kelowna, and soon Calgary, have been enhanced with insights from industry insider Elizabeth “Whisky Beth” Havers.
