Whisky is distilled all over the world, but for one man who is renowned in that industry there is nothing like what’s made in Canada.
Dr. Don Livermore, recently named as the 2025 World Master Blender of the Year, was in St. John’s yesterday for an event at the Gypsy Tea Room.
Livermore is the first Canadian to receive the distinction. He believes it brings awareness to the work being done in this country.
He thinks the bar is “already high” on Canadian whisky, and it highlights “what we have been doing so well for so long.”
Livermore praises the Canadian style of whisky, and the freedom he has in the way he brews it.
He says the innovation is left to the master blender and he is allowed to be creative. He says he wouldn’t want to do this work anywhere else.
