Spencer Gooderham is an 7th generation descendant of William Gooderham, one of the founders of the Gooderham & Worts Distillery in Toronto.

Spencer returned to the family business working for Hiram Walker as a brand ambassador and regularly hosted whisky tastings and education seminars on whisky across Canada.

Currently operating virtual tastings with New World Wine Tours, Spencer leads the whiskey tastings team including curating the whiskey selection across multiple distilleries and creates unique experiences for whiskey enthusiasts of all levels.
