We've said it before and we'll say it again, vodka is having its moment and to prove it, we’re sampling two bottles of the good stuff in this episode. We begin with the brand new offering from Jo Malone CBE – yes, THAT Jo Malone, who now lends her winning ways with fragrance to the spirit world with a trilogy of top notch vodkas bought to life through her super power, synesthesia.
Then there’s Dirty Brew, the latest expression from Belvedere, combining organic rye vodka livened with deep and delicious robusto coffee bean for your drinking pleasure.
Bookwise, we’re dipping in to the appropriately titled Distilled Knowledge – The Science Behind Drinking’s Greatest Myths, Legends and Unanswered Questions by Brian D. Hoefling, while the name of this week’s bar might need a bit more explaining, it’s All My Gods, a new take on the classic dive bar, which opened in London last week.
And on to the tonic part: we’re joined by drinks powerhouses Iain McPherson and Millie Tang talking all things Schweppes Pioneers, the new advocacy programme they’re proudly spearheading along with Vasilis Kyritsis and Simone Caporale for Schweppes.
