King’s County Distillery, Brooklyn, NYC
Just across the Brooklyn Bridge in a former Navy Yard is a small craft distillery called King’s County, the first in NYC since prohibition. We visited in 2018, so given its history has now doubled since then, i’m sure some things have changed, but i’m sure it’s still worth a visit. The founders were Kentucky … The post King’s County Distillery, Brooklyn, NYC appeared first on Toronto Whisky Society .

Spring Mill Distillery – Dinner with the Sleemans
A former member visited the Spring Mill Distillery back in early 2020, very early on in its history before they’d even released a fully aged whisky, and in 2024, John Sleeman and his sons Cooper and Quinn invited a busload of whisky lovers to the distillery for a tour, tasting and dinner.

Burwood Distillery, Calgary, AB
Burwood Distillery in Calgary is a little different, making honey-based “whisky” as the founders have a passion for honey and beekeeping.. Founded by Croatian brothers, they’re in a historical building which also houses the Vaycay brewery and an on-site restaurant.

Venakki Distillery, Alpiarça, Portugal
Portugal is known for its hospitable people, amazing seafood and gorgeous tiled buildings – not known for whisky, though Jay at Venakki is trying to change that. We visited the country in 2023 when our son was about 8 months old and as expected, absolutely fell in love with the culture and food. When I messaged Jay beforehand to see if we could visit the … The post Venakki Distillery, Alpiarça, Portugal appeared first on Toronto Whisky Society .

Shelter Point Distillery – Vancouver Island, BC
West coast, best coast. I love the Maritimes, don’t get me wrong, but BC hits differently, and Vancouver Island may be my favourite place in Canada. I’ve been a few times, and one time back in 2019, I managed to convince my wife and some friends to drive up to Campbell River to visit Shelter Point Distillery. Why am I posting this now instead of … The post Shelter Point Distillery – Vancouver Island, BC appeared first on Toronto Whisky Society .

Distillery Spotlight: Côte des Saints Distillery, Mirabel, QC
Driving through Montreal in the spring is a frustrating experience – there’s construction happening on every other street, the traffic is backed up as you wait for the same stoplight for 3 cycles, and a single accident on the highways will have you sitting in stop and go for a very long time. But it’s incredible just how quickly all of that changes as soon … The post Distillery Spotlight: Côte des Saints Distillery, Mirabel, QC appeared first on Toronto Whisky Society .
