Cotswolds Distillery’s Post

A wee blog about what we get up to over here

Does an Event Manager ever stop being an Event Manager, even on vacation? I can't help but stop when I see an outdoor event being organized – I have to approach, check what's happening, and see how it's being done. While on a catamaran, I talk to the captain about what possibilities he can offer his clients and what kind of event he could organize for them. During a wine tasting at a splendid winery, I envision an exclusive car launch or another product premiere held in the late afternoon, accompanied by excellent wine. Is this a professional quirk? No, it's just that I love what I do. I observe what others are doing with great interest and share my ideas with undisguised pleasure. And what do you pay attention to, even in your free time #EventManager #Passion #EventOrganization #Professionalism #Vacation #EventPlanning #Networking #EventIndustry #LoveForWork

"Competition medals don't mean anything; everyone has medals." That's a common sentiment we often hear. Most of the time, it's true. Many competitions give distinctions to whoever pays, with judging criteria that don't solely focus on taste. However, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition appears to be different. It is a blind competition where only taste matters, judged by an extraordinary panel of experts. "Many consider a Double Gold at San Francisco to be the highest medal one can receive in the spirits world, but there’s something even more prestigious: a Platinum Medal." We are proud that our Rum 0.0% has been awarded Double Gold every year since its creation and is now the first non-alcoholic spirit to receive the Platinum Medal. Our dedication to crafting the finest non-alcoholic spirits from real spirits is paying off, and we couldn't be prouder.Check out the full list of platinum medal winners at SFWSC here https://lnkd.in/dkx7AxjT #SFWSC #Competition #PlatinumMedal #DoubleGold #NoAlcohol #AlcoholFree #NonAlcoholicSpirits San Francisco World Spirits Competition The Tasting Alliance

Check out the expanding landscape of English Whisky. Worthy of note (you'll need to download the high resolution version!) is that while 25 distilleries have a finished product launched, 25 more have spirit ageing in cask, but are yet to release. Bodes well for the future of English Whisky! #englishwhisky #caskwhisky

ASHISH GANDHAM, SUNTORY GLOBAL SPIRITS. PART 2. In this second part of the interview with Ashish Gandham, Suntory Global Spirits' Managing Director GTR, we move into different territory. Key questions include: * How does he think that Suntory Global Spirits can improve as a business? * How ready are consumers in Travel Retail to discover more whisky brands, specifically world whisky brands? * Does he think that Suntory Global Spirits are over-indexing in the gin category? And, more broadly, is gin over-represented in global Travel Retail? * The company has invested heavily in RTD brands and formats. Where are the opportunities that GTR is missing out on? * Age statements seem to be making a return across Scotch whisky. Is this something that Suntory Global Spirits is committed to? All this and a lot more packed into a refreshingly transparent and engrossing video. Part 3 comes out on Friday this week. https://lnkd.in/d_j9TUzS #SuntoryGlobalSpirits #AshishGandham #ProductInnovation #Authenticity #JSLMACompliance #JapaneseWhisky #WorldWhisky #WhiskyTrends #IndianWhisky #GinTrends #RokuGin #Sipsmith #Larios #RTD #CruiseLines #Airlines #ValueTravel #Airports #WhiskyAgeStatements #Bowmore #Laphroaig #TheKogeiCollection #Hibiki
