Toronto Whisky tasting

Historic Mackenzie House in downtown Toronto is hosting a beer and Scotch tasting Feb. 8 from 7 - 9 pm ($50, participants must be 19 years or older).

Todd McDonald, Director of Spirits for William Grant and Sons (PMA Canada) leads the tasting of oak-aged beer and Single Malt Scotches including Glenfiddich 12 YO Single Malt, Glenfiddich 15 YO Single Malt and Glenfiddich 18 YO Single Malt.

Traditional Scottish foods, including a delicious haggis, will also be served.

The event is a fundraiser for Mackenzie House, the former home of Toronto's first Mayor, William Lyon Mackenzie. The 1840s Greek Revival row-house is lit by gaslight, which is sure to lend a moody ambience to the event.
