The Spirit of Christmas, aka… The Spirit of York
The Toronto Christmas Market is one of Toronto’s favourite holiday traditions and a throwback to a simpler time. One where carolers were the norm, not the exception. The Market takes you back, allowing you to relive Christmas just the way you envisioned it as a child. An idyllic “Christmas town”… it’s a magical place that attracts people for the day, a weekend, even filling them with a magical feeling that lasts a lifetime.
But at the 2017 Toronto Christmas Market, as thousands descend to rediscover the magic and romance of Christmas, they will find that The Spirit Of Christmas has a new address… the Spirit of York, 12 Trinity Street. That’s right, the Spirit of York is the only distillery in Toronto’s historic 180-year old Distillery District. New to the neighbourhood, Spirit of York marries time-honoured distillation techniques with state-of-the-art equipment to produce some of the finest, most premium spirits you will ever taste. And just in time for Christmas.
Spirit of York – part art, part science and all they want for Christmas
The Spirit of York exquisitely captures the spirit of Christmas. With all the charm and character one would expect, it warms the soul. As Gerry Guitor, co-owner of Spirit of York, so elegantly puts it, “Christmas isn’t a date on the calendar it’s a feeling. A time when the stresses of the year magically melt away and we’re left with nothing but feelings of joy.”
But how does one answer the age-old question, what do you get the person who has everything? The one thing they’ve yet to discover they even wanted, of course. As Edward Lees, Creative Director of Audacity Advertising & Design; the agency that created “The Spirit of Christmas” campaign say’s, “The best gifts don’t satisfy a need. They simultaneously create and satisfy a want.” One thing is for sure, Spirit of York has gone to great lengths to ensure the stress that typically accompanies searching for that perfect gift, is non-existent.
Affordable luxury. It’s no longer an oxymoron
No matter your budget, Spirit of York has that perfect premium gift for the spirit lover in your life. From single bottles of their premium Vodka and Gin, to carefully thought out and thoughtful gift boxes, they have something to delight even the most difficult to shop for. So, take a deep breath, let the tension you hold in your shoulders dissipate and the anxiety that keeps you up at night just disappear.
There’s something to whet the appetite of all connoisseurs interested in tasting great spirits… appealing to all consumers looking to find an incredibly special, thoughtful and truly unique gift. From Swirl Glass gift sets (no two are alike), to sets that include Swirl Glasses and their premium Gin and Vodka, Tasting boxes that include both their Gin and Vodka, plus premium, Caesar or Gin & Tonic gift boxes that include their spirits and the ingredients to take these two classics to fresh new heights.
Spirit of York – a more refined way to Christmas shop
Reassuringly distinctive, the Spirit of York itself provides a luxurious atmosphere to start and complete your Christmas shopping. The re-imagined heritage space is where the past and present are dramatically intertwined. From its rustic bitters library that speaks volumes without ever saying a word, to its floor-to-ceiling windows that provide unobstructed stunning views of artisans perfecting the distillation process in plain sight.
