Nickel 9 Distillery runs on a restless curiosity about flavor. In Toronto’s Junction district the team pours small‑batch gin, vodka, rum and whisky using locally sourced fruit, grain and botanicals, then lets those ingredients speak through crisp aromatics and daring finishes. The open‑plan tasting room hums with the clink of glass as bartenders demonstrate hand‑crafted bitters and seasonal syrups, inviting guests to experiment rather than merely observe. Classes break down technique into playful steps, while tours reveal copper stills and the meticulous aging process behind each bottle. Every release feels like a conversation between the city’s industrial past and a forward‑looking palate, and the crew welcomes strangers as fellow explorers of the spirit world.
Visitors praise the relaxed atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, creative cocktails, enjoyable tours and classes, tasty food, friendly cat, and spacious venue ideal for events and private gatherings.
Great low key spot to grab a drink! Ask for Arden, she’s a dream! Order the garden gimlet and feature cocktail, they never disappoint. Lastly, check out the new patio!! This is such a great venue for private events!

We made 3 seasonal cocktails and they had charcuterie board food too. I really enjoyed my time at the distillery learning about different spirits and how to mix them.",

"text": "Our tour was very detailed and fun! Greg explained us how they distilled their special spirits and then we had a taste testing where we tasted their both apple based vodka and gin as well as their corn starch based vodka and gin! The place is big enough to contain all the tools and machines when you can also sit and sip whichever cocktail you want! Definitely will be going back for the group cocktail making class which they held once every month!",
