Introducing another of our esteemed judging panel for our Flavour in Motion competition. Kyra Elton, Krya is an award-winning drinks industry professional based in London, with a decade of experience spanning distilling, hospitality and mixology. Now, Kyra focus on educating and raising brand awareness for the premium craft spirits of samson and surrey with an emphasis on their whiskey products.

Here they are, our 10 'Flavour in Motion' finalists. Our brand ambassadors David Robinson & Tommaso Cicala had the impossible task of visiting each of the remaining 25 entrants to experience the drink being made first-hand, alongside the story of how it had been reimagined. The entrants were all of exceptional high quality, which made it incredibly tough to whittle them down to the final 10. The entrants included some of our very own members of 'The Mix' from our bartender advocacy programme, with not all making it through to the final, showcasing just how high the calibre has been. In no particular order, the final 10 who will compete at Dram, London on 16th July are: Elyse Von Ruinn Sam Wilkes-Green Joshua Chapman Milo Cooper Paul Minea Ashley Haines Reah Owen Alice Mae Ford Mike Bower Tom Austin

Introducing the first of our Flavour in Motion judging panel, Cátia Correia. “Hello hello. I’m Catia and I moved to the UK 6 years ago to continue my academic studies, and like most people I took a part time job as a bartender and that’s how my journey in the drinks industry started. I’ve done a few new openings, including Decimo Restaurant at The Standard Hotel and Silverleaf Bar. In the past year, I’ve been the Bar & Events Coordinator at Silverleaf. Creating safe spaces for marginalised groups has been one of my personal and professional goals and I believe that everyone can contribute positively to their community, no matter where they come from, their background, race, sexual orientation or gender."
