Pisco Portón
I’ve never covered pisco in any way, shape or form. I never sold it when I was a bartender, and have never used it within my work since, but recently I’ve had the chance to fill the clean slate with a new brand to hit the UK in Pisco Portón. It’s probably best to explainContinue reading “Pisco Portón”
Rhuby
“The inspiration creating Rhuby comes from a childhood in Sweden, at my grandparent’s house, squinting into the early spring sun while punching a juicy Rhubarb stalk into a cup of sugar biting off its frayed end” It’s amazing what can inspire you to create a product, one that does so much for the bartending communityContinue reading “Rhuby”
U’Luvka

There’s plenty of brands, especially gin, that attempt to cause a stir upon their arrival. Some fall flat, most succeed.

Plymouth
One of the most well-known gin brands has been neglected by me and this website since its inception. That’s nothing against the brand, I’ve just never really got round to using it within my work – until now. I’ve managed to get my hand on a bottle, sit down, and really experience the gin.
