They say the spirit knows no bounds. That’s why the vision for Spirit of York was always a big, bold, aspirational, enduring goal – to craft some of the world’s most premium, best-tasting spirits. Toronto is a world-class city, deserving of world-class spirits. Capable of rivalling those made in any other major market or city. Spirit of York is that spirit. But premium spirits don’t happen by accident. They require a relentless tenacity and commitment to the never-ending process of crafting and refining our methods. It means never being satisfied with anything being less than it can be.

Distillation in our state of the art Copper Pot Stills allows us to carefully extract the "Soft Hearts" of the liquid and remove the volatile "Heads" and oily "Tails".

Our Vodka is ready right off the Stills, but we let it rest in order to aerate. For our Gin, we take our soft slightly spicy rye vodka and let it soak overnight with a selection of the finest local and exotic botanicals.
