No doubt, this past weekend was quite eventful. Literally! From various Nuit Blanche activations, to luxury pop-ups, free ice cream giveaways, and above all else, free whisky cocktails!
Coincidentally on Nuit Blanche, Canadian whisky brand J.P. Wiser’s brought their first-ever Toast Recording Studio and Whisky Bar pop-up to Queen West, as part of their national ‘Hold It High’ campaign. What better way to get or keep warm Saturday night when the temperatures dropped to the single digitals, than with samples of the newly released J.P. Wiser’s Old Fashioned Whisky Cocktail?
J.P Wiser’s invited guests to go out and visit their custom shipping container pop-up to record their own custom toasts while sipping their Old Fashioned Whisky Cocktail samples. The custom toasts were recorded onsite using their Toast Studio were instantly sent to participants by email so that they could share on social media as a way to recognize great friendships!
