Toronto Life – December 2018

An Evening of

Scotch and Suits

What went down at Bowmore’s

exclusive scotch-filled soirée

Presented by

On October 18, an exclusive list of guests

rolled into LightForm for an evening filled

with high-end scotch and style. Hosted by

Bowmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky, in

partnership with Toronto Life, Title Magazine

and Surmesur Custom Menswear,

attendees mixed and mingled over glasses

of the Islay-based whisky.

The west end showroom was filled with

eye-catching light installations—the perfect

photo backdrop. Former CFL player,

Bachelor Canada and celebrity restaurateur

Brad Smith acted as the evening’s emcee,

while Bellosound’s Daniel Buckman spun

tunes all night.

Guests were treated to Bowmore’s

signature serve, The Oyster Luge, a sensory

experience that pairs Bowmore 12 Year Old

with freshly shucked oysters from Rodney’s.

In a replica cask room, Bowmore brand

representative Mike McLean led guests

through an experiential tasting where he

drew samples of Bowmore No. 1 from the

barrel. He identified aromas and flavours

of the smoky spirit before toasting the night

with a bit of Gaelic: “Slangevar,” he said,

which translates as “to your health.”

There was more Bowmore Single Malt

Scotch to be sampled throughout the

evening. At the Bowmore 15 Year Old

station, guests indulged in drams of the

elegant spirit while an aromatic mist

boasting the marque’s tasting notes lingered

in the air. Bartenders served up Bowmore

Highballs and Honey Ginger Sours,

featuring Bowmore No. 1, at a custom bar

that took centre stage for the night.

Menswear experts from Surmesur were

on the scene to provide guests with style

consultations. Both ladies and gents were

gifted custom-printed, 100-per-cent silk

Bowmore pocket squares.
