Gooderham & Worts
Gooderham & Worts distillery was built by the company of the same name in 1837 in an area today referred to as the Distillery Historic District in Toronto, Ontario. The business had started five years earlier as a gristmill but quickly expanded once the distillery opened and the original windmill was eventually demolished in the 1860s to make way for a cooperage and maltings.
Gooderham & Worts merged with Hiram Walker & Sons in 1926 and the entity began consolidating its production at the latter's distillery in Windsor. Whisky production at the Toronto distillery finally ceased entirely in 1957 and today the buildings are retained as a National Historic Site where they house artist spaces and galleries.
The Gooderham & Worts brand of Canadian whisky is currently produced by Corby Spirit & Wine at its Hiram Walker & Sons distillery in Ontario. The modern version of the brand was first introduced as Gooderham & Worts Ltd by Corby Distilleries in 1998, collected as part of its Canadian Whisky Guild alongside Lot No.40 and Pike Creek. The whole range flopped however, and was discontinued again in the early 2000s.
Now known simply as Gooderham & Worts, the label was revived under Pernod Ricard ownership in 2015 with the release of Four Grain. As of 2017 the label has been collected alongside Pike Creek and Lot No.4o again, now known as the Northern Border Collection.
