World Class cocktails

It's the last episode of season ninet. So to take us out we’ve got some very special and, perhaps surprising, stories to share with you.

Take our two products. The first is a very special limited edition rum in the shape of El Dorado High Ester Blend PM / DHE, while the other is, rather surprisingly, a wine and a lighter abv one at that, it's 6 Percent Sauvignon Blanc.

Another surprise is our book, as it comes not from a bartender but a renowned film director. It’s 'Cocktail Time: The Ultimate Guide to Grown-Up Fun! Great advice, embarrassing stories and 125 classic and original drinks', by Paul FeigG

For our bar we headed over to Himkok in Oslo Always a very special experience and, on this particular occasion, one which was even more special as we discovered the clever and surprising relationship between cocktails and product design in the shape of bar’s brand new menu – Designed by Sipping.

As for our guest, joining us from Canada, is Keegan McGregor, last year’s winner of the Diageo World Class Global Bartender of the Year competition, who, with this year’s final just over week away, shares his own very special story.
