Grain to Glass in the Heart of Toronto's Distillery District
We set out to craft premium small-batch spirits capable of standing alongside the finest produced anywhere in the world. Not imported. Not compromised. Made here, in Toronto, from Ontario grain, by people who care deeply about what goes into every bottle.That ambition lives in everything we do.
Spirits for a World-Class City
Spirit of York is located in Toronto's historic Distillery District. One of the city's most iconic neighbourhoods, and a fitting home for a Canadian distillery built on craft and character.
Every spirit we make is produced on-site, from grain to glass. Our Ontario Rye comes from Scotland, Ontario. Our water from Springwater, Ontario. Where our ingredients come from matters, and we've never been casual about it.
We take our ingredients sourced from Ontario farmers and distil them all on-site. From milling and mashing on-site, to distiling in our copper pot stills, to bottling everything by hand. Our team follows every point of the process to ensure a quality product. Nothing leaves our distillery that hasn't earned its place on the shelf.
Built for a World-Class City
Our premium spirits may start with premium ingredients, but that's only one aspect of creating a premium craft spirit.
At every stage we're asking whether something can be better and being honest with ourselves when the answer is yes. Distilling is not a process that ends once the bottle is sealed, it's a process that we are constantly refining.
This is why our entire back wall is floor-to-celining glass. We have nothing to hide and want our guests to be apart of that process.
Every decision, from the grain we source to the spirits we pour, comes back to one question: is this the best it can be?
