Masterclasses offer in-depth explorations of food and drink topics, presented by experts and accompanied by demonstrations and tastings.

Join award-winning drinks writer and the co-author of Canadian Spirits, Stephen Beaumont, as he returns to The Depanneur, this time with an armload of very special, rare and celebratory holiday whiskies! Following up his sold-out Canadian whisky tasting and gin and tonic workshop, Stephen is assembling a flight of extraordinary whiskies from across the country and around the world, all equally suitable for celebration or holiday gift-giving. 

While he is still working on the official list, it will feature at least one ultra-aged Canadian whisky and something very special from Scotland. Expect Ireland and Japan to also have a presence. Whether you’re in search of a very special something for your holiday parties or a gift for a whisky-loving partner or friend, you’re sure to find the answer to your quest in this incredible tasting, or more likely multiple answers.

This a special chance to sample rare, unique and exquisite international whiskeys, including several that retail for well over $100 bottle. We will enjoy a thorough tasting and have some light snacks to nibble on. Don't miss this unique opportunity to be led through a world-class guided tasting by the person who has literally written the book on the subject!
