All-Canadian Char No. 5 Whisky Bar Opens in TORONTO

toronto’s long had a love affair with whisky. in the 1870s, the Gooderham and Worts Distillery on Mill st was the largest distillery in the world. and the city’s passion for the amber liquid hasn’t diminished. a new addition to the whisky-sipping scene is Char no. 5 at the just-opened Delta toronto hotel. located in a sleek tower in the trendy new soCo District, an entertainment corridor that includes the air Canada Centre, the Cn tower, Ripley’s aquarium and the Rogers Centre, Char no. 5’s finely curated selection of whiskies taps into the growing interest in home-grown Canadian brands. top tipples include flavoured whiskies, high-rye whiskies, classic cocktails and modern confections that showcase Canadian rye’s fresh taste. Canadian pride is also reflected in the lobby’s public artwork featuring white Canadian oak and a vibrant mural of toronto’s skyline. if hunger hits, small plates such as an artisanal cheese from Quebec or a duck confit poutine from soCo Kitchen, the Delta’s buzzworthy restaurant, are perfect for sharing.
